[Interview] Two videos about f116v

[Koen G]

Experts have to be cautious when they don't know something for sure. Otherwise I might as well interview some theorists.

I cut out a lot of the interview because otherwise the video would have been over an hour. But one of the things Katherine said is that we can be absolutely certain that it's a charm (I asked this directly). So there's one thing we didn't know for certain before.

And we also learned some things. For example, what was new to me is that if the four lines belong together, the first line is almost certainly a header. 

Something I also learned, is that this thing is even harder than I thought. I got it to some experts and groups that are the most qualified out there, even a group of scholars specialized in German recipes, and they didn't recognize it. That's not because they're all dumb, it's because the inscription is atypical, maybe mangled or incomplete.

The more I got to understand the context of regular charms, the more I saw that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. belongs to the same context. But ironically, understanding it better also made me realize we're very unlikely to ever understand it. That sucks, but it doesn't mean we have to start inventing stuff.
