The 'Chinese' Theory: For and Against

[Jorge_Stolfi]

I’m sure that if one randomly chooses another medieval manuscript whose text is composed of many lists and short paragraphs, one can find statistical properties similar to those proposed by Stolfi, especially if one allows manipulation of spacing, the distribution of suffixes and prefixes, and similar features. For example, the Speculum historiale section of the Speculum Maius by Vincent de Beauvais may be a good candidate.

Well, okay, let's check.  Do you have a link to that book?  (I suppose that there is no digital transcription of  it, right?)

All the best, --stolfi
