Fascinating set – I love the Miss Flite piece too!
What size are the cards?

All wonderful but my favourite is Miss Flite’s Birds quite beautiful.
I live close to Tinsmiths so will pay them a visit.

But also its a jumble of Latin words, as schoolboys used to know, meaningless in Latin but having an English meaning when read aloud. We used to say Caesar adsum jam forte, but caix seems just as good. Brutus aderat.

Lynne Perella – cod Latin means that it is made up to sound like Latin but actually if you read some of the tombs they are telling jokes and saying quite rude things!
For instance, “Semper in excretia solo profundis variat” could be translated as something along the lines of: “The s**t is the same it’s just the depth that changes” or “Same s**t, different day”, you get the idea.

Love Paul Bommer’s work! Wonderful to see this array — and be able to (one click!) order the cards. But this American needs to know: What is “cod Latin”?
