The Textual Work of August Walla, mentally disabled artist

[Ben Trovato]

The two "genres" that come to mind immediately are the "weird" ones (#2-5 in the first post) and the "gibberish" ones (#6-8), which, in my view, seem most interesting. Both are are very carefully and "neatly" done, so reading is not an issue. Availability is. Although you may find a couple of pics online, the most extensive documentations are printed (and of course, all the librarires are closed...)

But in general, there is a huge amount of material accessible. For the first group, I have no doubt that one could extract tens of thousands characters. For the second group, I honestly don't know, but my guess would be thousands, maybe much more. In fact, that would be one question I'd like to discuss - how much material it takes for proper testing.

Then there are his "runes" that I mentioned above. He used them not so frequently, and AFAIK, there has been no effort to "decode" them. 

I attach two pictures, one from which text #2 is taken and a photo of Walla presenting a table with an inscription using his "runes" (which are written in two seperate layers).
