The difficulty is deciding which one is the right one.

Just some examples:
- two people started on a common agreement and both drifted in a different direction. (This can work both for meaningful and meaningless texts)

Hi René,

A quick question here. What made you think that there are two people started on a common agreement and then diverged in different directions?

If that’s the case, they would started writing from the bridging parts, that is, astrology and cosmology parts, right? However, for me, it seems that Herbal-A, with a cover-like page You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. , is the intended beginning of the codex. Does it mean that they began writting from somewhere middle of the codex instead of from the beginning of the codex?

For me, it seems more natural if it was one person who gradually changed from Language A to Language B, because in this way they could write from Herbal-A, the intended beginning of the book.
