If you're in a hurry (why exactly would they be?) , I'm pretty sure it would be faster and cheaper to send a page, or to have whoever your expert is come over from wherever they are, than to make an illustrated copy hundreds of pages long.
The scenario piles one hypothesis over another. We need four hypotheticals to come together to make it happen.
Isn't the DIY hypothesis much, much simpler?
Also, if we take it as a given that the only reason we can't read it is that it's so full of errors that the original content is lost, then it's a pretty pointless task to try to even try and solve it.
But the truth is, we probably won't know. We can discuss probabilities, and compare observations, but that's about it.
