Ruby's Greek Thread

[ReneZ]

Thank you, Marco, for your explanations. 
So it's not the method that doesn't work, but rather that the few researchers who try to apply it have not yet been successful?

What Marco is saying, and I fully agree with him, is that the method doesn't work.
As a consequence, naturally, those who tried to apply it all failed.

This logic does not automatically exclude two things:
- languages like Arabic or Hebrew. More cases that could have been used in early 15th c Europe may exist.
- methods other than simple substitution of a plain text in any language

The combination: classical Greek and simple substitution will not work.
I am aware that there is not just one 'classical Greek' but there is a whole range of languages and/or dialects.
They are all excluded.
