The Oera Linda Book: From a Manuscript of the Thirteenth Century first came to the attention of scholars in the mid nineteenth century, and the controversy it caused is still sending out ripples today. Originally in an antiquated Old Frisian, a Germanic language in use for almost a millennium, the unusual manuscript was translated into English by William R. Sandbach and it contained what seemed to be stories of historical and religious import. They spanned a period that covered from around 2000 BC to 800 AD. After an initial honeymoon period of widespread acceptance the controversy surrounding the work began to increase and to this day a lively debate about the source of the text exists. The identity of the original author is shrouded in mystery along with the design and purpose of the work. Many believe that the work may even be the creation of Cornelis Over de Linden, a Dutch man, in collaboration with his associates. A crucial question for every reader will undoubtedly be whether this book was created by a writer seeking to record sense or court sensation. While that question is one that each reader must answer for themselves as they assess its merits there is no doubt that the alternative history of Europe as a matriarchy under an unfamiliar association of Gods is one which provokes thought, its use by the Nazi party as a prop for their occultism in particular leaves one driven to investigate.

Book got a bad reputation because of Nazi adoption of it later on. That can't be blamed on the book though.
