I’ve done a lot of other tests as well, with many more results, but I think that would take us too far afield here. But you’re right, of course - there are clear differences both across the different sections and in the language (A/B). Though we have to be careful here. It’s not exactly simple and can get very complex fast.
But in this thread, I’m more interested in the question of what the core elements are - in other words, the bigger picture. I’m looking for an anchor to crack the text. So the question is: Why are there line-start markers- why line-end markers, and perhaps even paragraph-end markers (I still need to test the latter more closely).
What is the background behind this structure? How can it be explained without having to resort to anachronistic ciphers?
I now have an initial idea of how this could be represented using 15th-century methods, but I’m still in the middle of testing that - yet the problem remains that we really know nothing about the underlying language, if indeed there is one.
