Did my theory that quire 20 contains prophecies and not cooking instructions upset you? Doubtless, you were looking forward to retrieving those secret recipes and trying them out, but that is unlikely to happen. On the other hand, fortunately, there may be a few people here and there who are interested in ancient prophecies.
No, why should it upset me? I've never assumed it was cooking instructions. I've never made any assumptions about it. If there's meaning in it, I can think of about 20 different things it might be.
Quote:Nearly all medieval manuscripts were written to be comprehensible and you might want to concentrate on them for applying your talents. The surviving texts of the underworld, mainly the VMS, parts of the Summa Sacrae Magicae and a few texts written in Hebrew, were clearly intended for people with an open mind.
All your theories are based on a towering heap of assumptions. That is not the definition of an open mind. That is tunnel-vision.
