Book Description

MANUSCRIPT BOOK , OVER 700 PAGES HANDWRITTEN IN THE TINIEST HANDWRITING This is an amazing manuscript book, which is mostly on Philosophical subject matter, it is amazing for the size of the handwriting, which is absolutely tiny, the book measures 8 inches tall (20cm) and runs to around 540 used handwritten pages, with around 100 lines of text per page, the words are all written in individual characters which are no more than 1mm in height, written on different colour papers. The books content covers Aristotle and the Metaphysics and Physics, Plato, Diogenes, Hegel and The Science of Logic, Benedict De Spinoza, the Ethics, Ontology, Sanskrit Language and Literature, Xenophanes and Gorgias, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Arthur Schopenhauer, Cosmology, Martin Heidegger, Greek Philosophy, Buddhism, Marxist Philosophy, Spinoza, Rationalism, Indeterminism, Kantianism, Kant on Pure Reason, and more Also with the book in the same hand and on the same subject matter are around another 186 pages of unbound material, some stapled into small groups. So over 700 pages in total. The author does not seem to credit himself within the book, and the book is not as old as it appears, the author has dated the first page 20th February 1991, there are other dates in the book, the latest seems to be 1998, the same goes for the loose material as well. Its hard to imagine the hours that were spent producing this work in such small handwriting, and individually hand drawing all the lines on each page. There is crossing out to some passages, and the text is written in a number of different coloured inks, some of the later pages are a bit worn at edges, and a few have been repaired with Sellotape which has browned. A MIND BOGGLING MANUSCRIPT BOOK IN THE TINIEST HANDWRITING THAT TOOK NEARLY TEN YEARS TO CREATE
