So you're saying it's a prop or a rulebook? (an old xkcd comic mentioned this).
I doubt it's a rulebook cause it's not a real language.
If it's a prop, it would be extremely expensive.
Just to get the parchment you'd have to slaughter a herd of ovines, then you'd have to process it, then you'd have to pay a skilled professional or more for months of work to draw and write.
So I think the profit motive is more likely, and given we know of a ton of scams like this from this period, it seems the most plausible.
But I'll be happy to be proven wrong if someone finds more info in the future.
