Tim King's et al. translation

[Linda]

I was thinking about the many "solutions" offered in the last couple of years. They tend to be from different parts of the manuscript, which makes it difficult to compare them. Maybe it would help to have a "test page" section and to designate one illustrated folio and one non-illustrated folio for anyone who offers a solution to translate and upload to one area so that different systems can be directly compared.

I like that idea, but maybe there should be more than two, given the differences of herbal a, herbal b, bio b, etc. Plus this might force the issue to explain the differences, which is one of the things often ignored.

But yes i have thought more than once it would be nice to compare translations more easily to see if there are commonalities or things that can be learned from the attempts. Some might be similar in terms of building on others' work, but then that could be seen too.
