The Textual Work of August Walla, mentally disabled artist

[MarcoP]

I think this is definitely worth trying.

I think so too, obviously ... but: I lack the mathematical background to perform these tests or to interpret the results.

What I could do is the following: digitalizing text of Wallas work (ideally several corpora of different text "genres") and make it accessible to more competent researchers. But as this is some amount of work, I'd only start if it is secured that somebody would do something with it.

... "worth trying", of course it would be!

I agree that would be interesting, in particular for "genres" which are large enough (ideally, a few thousand words). Could you please provide a rough estimation of the sizes of these corpora? 
Could you please also attach a sample image of Walla's handwriting? I would like to see if I can read it and help you with the transcription.
