A new movie caught my attention called Labyrinth based on the series of books by
Kate Mosse.
In the two-part series they reference three books that have something to do with the Holy Grail.
I didn't quite pick up on what the books were about save for their titles:
The Book of Numbers
The Book of Potions
and The Book of Words.
Below I've attached screen-caps from the movie of the first two books (the book of words was only shown in wrappings at the end).
It appears as though the book of potions is a coptic-style book where the pages are sewn to each other and then to a cover. The book of numbers, however, appears to a period bind from around the 1200's when the movie was set.
