    This topic really belongs in 'Off Topic' but that section appears to be locked to I've posted it here.

    I need help discerning the highlighted words in the following image:

    I'm converting Mortadello to a textual pdf instead of a scan.

    The first is easy: Maeterlinck (referring to Maurice Maeterlinck).

    I suspect the second is musc amber, "amber musk." I suppose it could be museau amber, "amber muzzle," but the spacing for the letters doesn't seem quite right and the meaning isn't as obvious.

    FYI, it looks like somebody might've beat you to the punch:

    Wow thanks Gnosomai Emauton. That's a gorgeous copy. They spent a lot of time getting that one to match the original.

    Yeah. I've never run across them but they look to have a pretty extensive catalog. Might help in filling out your collection.

    Yeah, they've got so much material. I'm downloading all their pdfs and comparing them to the ones I have on file. There's so much there that I didn't even know existed. Crowley's spiritual works are common finds, but these guys have been collecting and key entering all his poetry and prose too.
