The Code Unchopped

[ThomasCoon]

Tom, I looked through your work and it's an interesting solution. I was wondering if you contacted a native Italian speaker (assuming you don't speak it yourself) for feedback on the anagrams you decode?

Thanks Thomas I never contacted a native Italian speaker.  This Italian anagram engine however was the best I could find to translate long Italian anagrams.

Very cool! I only suggested it because it could only be helpful to your study - if the Italian speaker says "This is perfectly grammatical Italian, and here is evidence of 15th-century language", then you would know you were clearly correct. And if he says, "These words are Italian but the grammar is incorrect," then it would be good to know that there is room to improve your theory. (Imagine if none of us spoke English, and somebody said they decoded the Voynich Manuscript to English anagrams, but the sentences were weird and artificial - ex. "he have an dog in these park." An English speaker could say it's not grammatical, and that would be helpful to finding a better solution).
