Page "Liber Linteus" Paragraph 10

The age of the book is unknown.

However, by comparing the shape and style of the characters contained within the text to those found on other Etruscan artifacts it is possible to infer an approximate date of 250 BCE.

The manuscript must have been created prior to the wholesale decline of the Etruscan language in favor of Latin ; as such a work could have only been produced by a priest or highly educated person possessing special religious knowledge and literacy in Etruscan.
