And I’m sorry if I didn’t do this post right. I’m new here and just so lost.

I clicked on the link and it sent me to Instagram asking me to reset my password.

Some kind of Greek-derived early Cyrillic script Sep 13, 2020

would be my best guess. Therefore, most likely one of the early Slavic languages.

The link works fine for me, calls up the IG image normally and doesn't ask for any information or action.

Hello,

This document seems to be written on vellum, which could help to date it. But it would be useful if you could tell us a bit more about the object itself, where did you find it, who photographed it, is there a link with the peoples of North America? These are all elements that could help, unless a specialist immediately recognises which language it is.

For those who would have a problem of connection, here is the document in question (hoping that the text does no... See more

Ge'ez Sep 13, 2020

This is neither early Cyrillic, nor Glagolitic, nor Armenian - it is Ge'ez script used by several languages around Ethiopia and Eritrea.

Update Sep 13, 2020

Hi all. I think the mystery has been solved so I will give you the update. This excerpt came from a plank bound book with velum pages. There are Christian looking images In a few spots. Soooo I think it is safe to say it is an early 20th century or late 19th century Ethiopian Christian prayer book written in Ge’ez.

Thank you everyone for trying to help out!
