And the text does not correspond... the differences are not small, really


I guess you're right Anton. They aren't small from the point of view of interpreting or deciphering them. From the point of view of explaining a concept (I don't know what it would be), it's probably adequate, so it depends very much upon WHY they copied it.

When was your Salani illustrator active?

You want me to give you the punchline before I have posted my research?  Confused

It took took me years to figure it out. I would like the opportunity to explain how I got there.   Wink

Well...then why post this before you're ready?  People are naturally going to ask after all this deliberate build-up of suspense...

Because it's not possible to release it all at once. It's too much information. Finding something and describing it are too different things. I've spent 13 years working on this. Would you prefer that I say nothing and release a mountain a year from now? Or would you prefer that I post it as I get the illustrations and text put together?

But the Salani copy is from 2013, or thereabouts, so this is not just about that, correct?


RE: I found something... - -JKP- - 30-04-2021

Right.

It's all connected. The drawing, the drawing styles, the paleography timelines. All pieces of a bigger puzzle.

I don't know what all the pieces mean yet, but I have a lot of them. One of the difficulties is describing it. For example, if you want to explain something about Latin to someone who knows Latin, it might take 10 minutes. If you try to explain the same thing to someone who knows nothing about Latin, it might take 4 months, because they need background information first.

I'm trying to find the middle ground so that what I have is comprehensible but also accurate.
