An issue is the MS was something like £10,000 to produce, and a years work.
I'm sure numbers 5x lower and higher exist, but just in general and a sensible figure.
This is a long con with much at stake, its no snake oil salesman or passing carnival.
In todays terms it would be putting a body kit on a Toyota and trying to sell it to a Ferrari collector. The odds of it working are like, zero.
With the points,
1. Yes, exact others. To my knowledge the British library have two full books written in code. One they acknowledge
.
2. The reason I ask this is any great claim like "this is the secret to the philosophers stone! is.. every Alchemy book ever. 0 need for code.
3. You think about it in 2025 terms. Back then no one gave a damn.
"Bill Gates said my new processor demolishes all old tech and was totally amazed"
This was 101 alchemy type stuff, write whatever you want no one cares. It's not a "scam" there's no copyright laws
In 1420, I could say Roger Bacon said all my ideas were amazing and this list of words, as approved by him, would make clouds rain gold.
No one could, or did do, anything about it. Write it in a book and now its real.
So we are left with the "scam" as per 1400.
1. It had great claims of wealth. - Alchemy.
2. It was by someone else. - Sign the name and lie.
3. It's really old.. stuff. - This is disproven by imagery which is clearly 15c.
The one I would probably buy is, it was really old stuff from somewhere else. I don't even know what secrets it holds but if you are smart enough you will figure it out.
Some sort of fake foreign magic, but even then, making a thing at such a cost is a huge risk and if it worked, there would be others
So without a claim of power, a false writer, or conception date... what is the con.. a really expensive puzzle from far away? the market has to be slim
