Hi Glenn, I do apologise I must have cut my comment with the link by accident
But yes, essentially a substitution cipher is out the window. So far, I think it is fair to say the manuscript text is not a typical case of anything we see from the time. Understanding the character entropy studies conducted on the text I think is an essential step if you wish to further your knowledge on the manuscript text.
My personal opinion is that the text has too many observable rules to be made up/gibberish, but others would entirely disagree.
