I’m having trouble with the Bavarian cipher—I’m finding interesting and coherent words that, in terms of how frequently they appear, also match other Middle High German recipe books; actually, a lot of it fits together. But there seem to be certain letter combinations that sometimes work and sometimes don’t.
And that’s when I noticed this example: 9v, line 5.
I’m concerned with the “cc” and “ee.” If I’m seeing this correctly, I could read the first “cc” as a “tc,” while I could read the second “cc” as a “cz,” and the “ee” as a “ce”... or maybe none of that is correct, but if it is, that would be discouraging—because we have the “a/o” problem, problems with the “Gallows”... R problems... and that would completely turn all the statistical and other analyses upside down.
And so I’m asking myself:
What is the most current transcription, or the most accurate one?
Does it even make sense to ask that?
Is Eva a dead end that thousands of people have walked into, when Stolfi is already doubting it (if I’ve understood correctly)?
I’m a bit at a loss right now...

In this context, I should also mention this writing exercise: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. 0.6.5.jsp?folder_id=0&dvs=1774358703990~945&pid=19073483&locale=pl&usePid1=true&usePid2=true
