What if the cipher manuscript is encoded with some kind of a polyphonic cipher, a precursor to ciphers of this kind which were developed starting from the second half of the 15th century?
For starters, let me list some clues pointing in this direction:
- excessive use of the symbol o;
- seemingly "predictable" content;
- low entropy;
etc.
Perhaps the benched diacritical marks could be used to switch from one encoding mode to another?
