Yes, more than 40,000 letters (alphabetic letters). Hang on a moment, I can tell you a more accurate count.
I just looked through my file. I have c. 125,000 letters categorized, searchable, and very carefully selected from manuscripts in numerous languages. That's not counting the numbers, which I have in a separate file.
Maybe it would take you hundreds of years to do it, but I'm a programmer—I develop software tools to help me. I am not talking nonsense.
I did not say I had read 40,000 manuscripts (I've gone though about 18,000 manuscripts, but it's not always necessary to go through the whole thing). I said I had sampled 40,000 letters. I have, however, read numerous manuscripts. If they are illustrated, it doesn't take as long to read them.
What this means is that I am familiar with how they did things. I'm not just cherry-picking examples to suit a hypothesis.
Here's a summary of what I posted earlier:
Also, you should not assume the words are real sentences. It's possible the text that looks like plaintext is partly encrypted. Partial encryption was very common.

Quote:40'000 letters ? If you read one every day, you would be 109 years old now, and would have done nothing else in your life.
Sorry, but now you are talking nonsense.
