Imaginary Book Titles

The Librarian, 1566, oil on canvas

Books never seen anywhere before: bizarre bestiaries in arcane languages; histories of forgotten lands; theological essays on mysterious religions; dictionaries of dead, obscure languages; maps to lands that may never have been; antediluvian mythologies; accounts of wars unknown to recorded history…

Sorry, these are just books that pop into my head as I’m reading. Enjoy!
