Biocodicology - A Deeper Dive

[Mark Knowles]

I think is reasonable to say that if technological process continues at its present rate then there will come a point where the kind of techniques discussed will be in some way feasible and be able to be implemented with virtually no damage done to the manuscript. However the length of time before such a stage is reached is much harder to guess. Whether it is in 10 years, 20 years or 30 years remains to be seen. Of course by that time those techniques may have become unnecessary as the manuscript may have already been translated/deciphered.

I still think finding a way to isolate and identify the author(s)' DNA is the really interesting thing.
