I would love to have some feedback on this one. Maybe I need to describe it better? Or make a picture comparison to illustrate it better? There are many more things in it that hint to a roteiro of that time. For example, you would think that there is black pepper in it, because it was one of the most important plants from the west coast of Africa for Portugal. Thats why they called the west coast of Africa the black pepper coast at that time. If you look at page 18left, that is a black pepper plant. If you look in books of paintings from around that time, its always painted like that. Especially the long "tail". You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
I don't want to give aways everything, because I am so afraid that I biased, like everyone how has an idea on the manuscript and starts making things up. Thats why I need your correction.
Since I need some attention for my post, I tried to come up with ideas to translate it. So I looked little bit around and tried this and that, just to get a feeling and maybe say something of value to get attention to the things above.
When I looked at the EVA translation, one thing that I don't understand is, why K and T should be different Symbols. Isnt it obvious, that it is the same? If you make analysis of the EVA translation it shows you that there is an extrem K <-> T substitution in words. So there are a lot of words that exchange K for T or vice versa. First I thought thats a homophonic substitution, but it is just the same word in the original document, just one time transcribed into T and the other time into a K. How can someone use this EVA transcript to analyse anything?
