The story goes, that this book was left by an /x/phile's grandfather, and for the past week, /x/ has been trying to read what it says.
Individual repeating characters have been identified, transcribed and assigned substitute letters.
Quipquip.com is an online cryptogram solver which, with some help, can be pretty useful for checking possible letter substitutes.
Based on the possibility of this being written in coded English, we've figured out the characters for t, h and e, as seen in pictures below.
Let's give them a helping hand, guys!

Here are the identified characters, and their corresponding frequencies.

Here is a picture of the 5 pages, and there transcribed characters (ignore the coloured boxes, they're just to signify some repeating big rams, ect), and here are the character substitutes for quip quip.

The grandfather had possible Freemason ties, and his family moved to America from Germany around 200 years ago.

/x/ is full of sad people who WANT to believe in the paranormal. They roleplay all day in their sad little fantasy worlds and are also known for making shit up and this 'code' might as well be one of those roleplaying circlejerking games. Good luck with your sad games, autists
Lincoln Adams
that doesn't really matter when it's a fun riddle
i recall a similar thread there how some guy found a holy book in an unknown language in his fathers possession
btw they have a lot of writers there too :^)
Dylan Bailey
how do you know it's holy when you can't read the language?
Camden Evans
oh, i dont recall the details...

That thing looks brand spanking new. Also looks like it was forged from some leftover chain mail that you can buy or easily make.
/x/ is known for perpetuating hoaxes, forcing memes & attracting all manner of feeble minded schizos. Take anything you find there with a grain of salt & spare yourselves the indignity.
Carson Cooper
It's clearly a mail book/
Nathan Sullivan
didn't jung prove paranormal when he invented acasual synchronicity
Jose Garcia
kek'd more than i should have
Elijah Edwards
we already have an unsolved fun riddle. it's called the Voynich Manuscript, and it wasn't made out of steel wool by some faker from /x/.
James Rodriguez
That's not even mail, it's just interlocked rings. That thing is also not more than 10 years old, and it was a waste of time to make.
People need to learn how to make actual mail if they're going to do this.

Yeah. It was made by random bored ass monk faker from the 15th century.

Looks pretty fucking clean and shinyfor a 200 year old piece of metal.
Julian Butler
oh my god it's a christmas story reference.
Hunter Bell
don't think anyone claimed that the book itself is 200 years old
neat idea though. i think i might do something like this when i am old and grey, for my descendants to find. it will provide a clue to the location of my secret hoard of gold, limited edition POGs and shemale porn
Lincoln Sullivan
If it's so old where is the rust?
