Morten St George Theory

[Morten St. George]

Note that I'm not scoffing at the length of your system (the number of words to encode a letter) as I know of several Renaissance encoding systems that used even longer cipher text, amongst them one of Kircher's universal language attempts.

However, unless you can find a flag indicating the 'ratio' all you're doing is introducing noise; and changing the rules of the game on the fly to meet objections.

The four lines in the 3 to 1 ratio all begin with the same glyph, but elsewhere the same glyph begins a red-star passage that would be too long for a Merlin verse in 3 to 1 ratio. No universal consistency is apparent.

In any case, since there were no cows in the Andes during the 15th century, the VMS could not have been written by Cathars (who were extinct in cow country at that time), nor can it be the source of the Inca prophecy recorded by the Spanish chroniclers, nor the general source of Merlin's prophecies (which included the Inca prophecy) that were published toward the end of the 16th century. Consequently, all aspects of the Morten St. George Theory can be considered disproved by the latest protein science.

Personally, I find it hard to believe that Italian monks would develop such a sophisticated encryption system to protect their plant descriptions and cooking instructions, but if you guys say that is the case, then so be it.
