[Blog Post] Peter Bakker on the VMS

[nablator]

Counting syllables in Latin is sometimes tricky. Later writing (18-20th century) conventions (mostly French I believe) help, with v and j replacing u and i where appropriate (which is not always obvious), so there is exactly one vowel or diphthong per syllable.

No idea why anything is enciphered in this ms., haven't studied it.
