I have to announce an update to the decipher chart (see attachment). The symbol which means -re and -er can also mean -en.
I am currently translating page 139 of the digital copy. There, I was wondering about one phrase which came up and reads in latin "ali in re". because two "i" can mean "u", I read "alum re".
Since on that page is a protocol how to stain fabrics, it must read "alumen", which is alum and is required for staining/pickling, as in line 5:
ad alumen ad ea uni in re una o ...
"Come with alum, there combine in the meantime together ..."
I can provide ex ante line 1, which describes the preparations. remind a single "o" is the new step in the protocol, and "d" is an abbreviation for (one) day.:
te ea ne texta o ad ala o ea ire ad a te ea in ena d a te ea in re M re o ea i da ori M re o a ore
- you there, finish the fabrics
- come closer with the dyer stick (ala=paddle=dyer stick in this context)
- to that you come, you go one day during with fort flotage, you there during thorough
- there one give, begin precisely with the work
- preheating
From here, I now have to deal with the quantities, which would take a while since I got no idea about fabrics or clothes of that time.
As a note to those who can not communicate properly: A thing did not become wrong only because you say so. You have to prove it wrong. I do know that my decipher chart, which by the way was finished after 1 or 2 hours already, might not be a 100% correct. However, if it is only 90% right, or just 50%, it is already a breakthrough. I would be glad if you could deal with it in this way. If you miss any letter in the chart, add it and join translating the manuscript, please.
