Is it healthy to try and solve the MS 408

By the way, there is a new proposed reading for 116v: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.


I don't have any constructive feedback (I don't really expect marginalia to be meaningful, I suppose it's most likely a mnemonic of sorts, and I certainly don't know Occitan). What is your opinion?

For the 116v "translation" is unbelievable how people dream.
They change words, add letters maybe and think they have it.
The problem is then even if one provides proofs and true words- the people continue to live in the dreaming.

By dreaming we will not have the solution. The manuscript is insidious and scientific. We need a team of serious people, who believe in a solution  and progress further.
It is enough to stare at the images only and make educated guesses. It is high time to go deep into the contents.

The marginalia of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is absolutely reasonable and scientific note, concerning the herb below: "malher altae® cure for skin yellowing..."
Everybody who knows the Latin alphabet can read at least the first two words. Malher is an ancient word for marshmallow , alttae ot althae is a special species, which really is used for skin healings (removal of black spots). How may the people think that this has no meaning. This is an insult of the author's intelligence. 
116V is a recipe for healing scars after venereal disease. Maybe this is the famous recipe, with which Jakub a Tepence has cured Rudolf II - who knows.
The last sentence is my fantasy, but if you look at the fruit paintings of the face of this kaiser, you may make the conclusion about the last foil recipe.

So my opinion is that the author of the script and the coder/user were much more wise than we today. I am sorry if someone feels offended. But we need to face the truth and start really be more professional and scientific. I mean not to go and talk with  Chat GPT, but to travel in the ancient manuscripts and find their the anchor.
