Historical ciphers, when they were introduced and their effect
#17
If the trickery in the VMs illustrations includes everything from code shifts to heraldic canting, to intentional dualism, why should the language be any less? In the early 1400's, if the VMs language is rational, the author is a savant. If the language is not translatable, nothing has changed.

The three interpretive systems overlaid on the 4 x 17 symbol sequence (f57v) are an opening to further investigation. They show at least an acquaintance with Greek. There are three glyphs between lambda and omicron. The presence of proper structure is an objective demonstration of identity. And likewise, for the medieval and Latin numeral interpretations.

Perhaps there is a way to reconstruct something like a Polybius' square. The sixth symbol is a quincunx.
