Book of Blood
I have already asked for a translation in Romanian and Hungarian. To set a bit of history about this mythological ´Book of Blood`,I would like to know what it is in ancient Greek. Thanks to anyone who can help.

BIBLION HAIMATOS.
BIBLION = book.
HAIMATOS = of blood.
Ancient Greek uses highly flexible word order; one could also write HAIMATOS BIBLION. The word HAIMATOS (of blood) is the genitive form of HAIMA (blood), indicating a generalized relationship to another noun (i.e., to "book").

To make things clear, there is no reference of such a book in Ancient Greek bibliography, so what I can give you is the modern Greek term.
To make it look Ancient Greek, I would call it:
BÉÂËÉÏÍ ÁÉÌÁÔÏÓ - âéâëßïí áßìáôïò (/vi\'vlion \'ematos/)

I am afraid there is no such Classic Greek term since no "Book of Blood" is mentioned in Ancient Greek bibliography.
