A community-maintained tertiary reference on the Liber Linteus, directly examined. Its strength is a precise paleographic date and a documented, dated acquisition history for the object itself; its limit is a Wikipedia community article rather than an Etruscology monograph, which is why it sits at reliability tier three.

Reliability Tier3
Bare Wikipedia community article, tier 3, matching this corpus's settled precedent for this source class. NotesWikipedia's article on the Liber Linteus, consulted 2026-08-13. Useful here for its circa-250 BCE paleographic dating, its identification as a ritual calendar, its written language, Etruscan, and its discovery history: purchased wrapped around a mummy in Egypt in 1848 and donated in 1867 to what is now Zagreb's Archaeological Museum.
