Madman's Vita



Madman's Vita (賢人の異聞録) is one of Zexion's lexicons in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

Design
The Madman's Vita lexicon has a vaguely rectangular shape with a small, triangular spike on the top and bottom of the spine. There is a pale yellow "X" shaped like the top half of the Nobody symbol on the spine, superimposed over a gray diamond with a light gray outline. The rest of the book is black with a thin, light gray border. The most distinctive feature of this lexicon is that the shape of each cover's far edge sports three large spikes that bear a striking resemblance to those on Sora's crown necklace.

A “madman” is a mentally unstable or insane person. “Vita” refers to curriculum vitae, a written account of a person’s education experience. A sage is a wise man. An “account” is an explanation or a report.
