Some of the glyphs on this page are alchemical symbols and runes. I have it partially translated, but not transcribed yet, as I lost (somewhere in my documents) the rune illustration for the glyphs and forgot which database/alphabet I found them in. I looked at so many, i cannot even remember to whom they were associated with.
Here is why i believe it is a semitic language, using a reverse Hebrew script in its makeup You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
I have similar organizational problems! It seems I am forever wasting countless hours searching for things I know I read but cannot remember where I read it.
I once found a connection (sometimes with depiction in reverse or upside down) between many VMS glyphs and diverse numerals from the ancient or medieval Middle East and Asia. I believe JP said (but don't quote me on that) that many of the glyphs come from Latin shorthand.
On alchemy, I checked out d'Imperio's table of correlations by acquiring a copy of her source from Germany, namely, Geßmann's Geheimsymbole. It turns out that the correlated symbols come from tables of diverse origin so it was impossible to ascertain a concerted source for the handful of glyphs that resemble alchemy symbols.
For me, a great mystery is why the decoders of quire 20 invested so heavily in procuring the massive encyclopedia of plants (Herball, 1597). It seems they did it because they wanted to identify the plants, but if they could read the botanical pages, why would they think those plants were real and not imaginary? I can imagine two reasons why the quire 20 decoders might not have been able to read the botanical pages:
Scenario 1. Quires 1 though 19 were originally written without encryption in a widely known European language. Subsequently, all the drawings were copied over to fresh parchment, but instead of also copying the writing, they replaced the Latin letters with glyphs drawn from quire 20, presumably to have those pages serve as a frontal mask for protecting the prophecies at the back. In this case, the script in quires 1 through 19 would be gibberish.
Scenario 2. The glyphs of quire 20 were reused to represent the sounds of a language that was unknown to the 16th-century decoders of quire 20 and also unknown to our contemporary cryptographers. That would leave an opening for your decoding efforts!
Indeed, it seems that divine-name decryption may require longer strings of text in order to function properly. I cannot see how it could work, for example, for a label of, say, just five to ten characters because no matter where you place them on the wheel, some of the needed Latin letters are likely to remain out of reach.
In quire 20, there are no labels and no short paragraphs. There are, however, short end of paragraph lines, which likely implies that the entire paragraph as a unit needs to be wrapped around the wheels.
