Using your 1-to-1 substitution code on the central text spiral in this castle ring (where it begins to become more legible) you get:
??????... UDED EDEB ETD LIIUSA UR EN U FLE[i]DA AOUSET U UQEN MA UT ETUSET ALESET ALUSET ALETA UQENHA
You might say Talese and variations of it are in there, near the end, but you could take almost any word and create analogs by switching the letters so they fit. Only solutions that provide translations of broader areas of the manuscript than a word or two are defensible without other corroboration for the choice of the word. I don't think the image of the castle is sufficient corroboration. I've found castles that match the pic more closely than Talese and where are the Ghibelline merlons?
