Malus Codicium (fragments)

Unknown, undated. Organizational records for IBM mainframes.

Description

Fragments of a corrupted text archive in an unidentified encoding, deposited with a request that it remain closed.

The cartridges hold the remains of a large text archive. Its structure suggests a single long work, divided into many short sections and heavily cross-referenced. The encoding has never been fully identified.

Provenance

Deposited by the Aemos Library, whose staff deciphered part of the encoding and then asked that the contents not be opened to readers. Their reasons are recorded in a sealed note kept with the record.

Lazarus has kept the fragments sealed, and verified, ever since. Codex still lists the encoding as unidentified.
