The first eleven (which it says are ten) listed in Exodus are different from the ones commonly repeated from Deuteronomy and are mostly about ensuring the comfort and power of the priest class through tithing
Crazy that they removed the screaming from subsequent editions of the Necronomicon. Nowadays it’s gone through so many revisions new copies don’t even bleed. Sometimes the modern special editions will whimper a bit, but that’s all you get.
Finding a untainted (no gooning!) virgin is near impossible, so getting the books to even give off an evil aura is next to impossible.
Also, since the 3rd Cosmic Revelation, there’s no requirement to sign a pact with Cthulhu to print a copy, so quality control has dropped significantly.
It was a long time ago and they were just guessing at what written language was even going to look like. That they got it in perfect English minus one word is remarkable.
Rare texts are kinda my jam, a few highlights in my collection:
A signed first edition of the Necronomicon (it still screams and bleeds)
An early draft of the 10 commandments (before it got narrowed down to just 10)
The treatise between cats and dogs that lead to cats getting litter boxes and dogs getting walks
“The lord has given unto you these 15 —”
crash
“… 10 commandments!”
There are in fact 21 listed Commandments btw

FYI, a treatise is not the same as a treaty.

Don’t tell them that
This guy could sell a letter written (in French!) by Jesus himself, among other rarities 😁 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Vrain-Lucas
Oh man, when French Jesus turns water into wine, you know it’s good…
Some people deserve to be ripped off. It seems like this guy didn’t even try to make it convincing, yet they still sold.
