Jan Ott

Jan Ott holding the original manuscript and his first edition of Codex Oera Linda

Jan Ott made a new transliteration of the Oera Linda texts and translated them from the original language into English. (Note that Sandbach's translation was based on Ottema's first Dutch translation.) Between 2016 and 2018 this translation was proofread and improved by various native English volunteers. The first printed edited was published in July 2021, titled "Codex Oera Linda ~ English edition". The fourth and last printed edition thus far was published October 2022. From mid 2022 to early 2023 it was significantly edited with the help of professional editor and translator Bruce Stafford. The most up to date revised version of Codex Oera Linda can be navigated on this blog, either in the original order, or in a more chronological reading order.
