geoffreycaveney's Judaeo-Greek theory

[-JKP-]

Regardless of what language or system it turns out to be, I've actually been crossing my fingers almost since I first saw the VMS that the manuscript held Jewish or Pagan cultural content because so much of these cultures has been lost and it would be very interesting to learn more about them in a medieval context.

It's part of the reason I tried so hard to resolve the VMS text into Ladino or Yiddish, but I didn't have much success with those languages (I could find scattered words but not too full lines of text).

.
I'll be honest. I tried very hard to turn it into Greek, as well (I could get many many phrases, all over the manuscript, but with chunks of nonsense in between each of the somewhat-viable phrases). I had more success with this (and two other languages) than anything else.

I knew nothing about Judaeo-Greek (not sure how I missed it), so if it turns out to be Judeao-Greek, I'm going to be kicking myself for a long time.

But, if it is, then the analysis of the contents will be culturally very interesting.
