The 'Chinese' Theory: For and Against

[Jorge_Stolfi]

You know „for sure“ that one part of VMS is 1:1 from a chinese book, while you still have no idea of the language this transcription/translation is based upon? Well: how?

There is You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. that explains how I got to that conclusion.  It is a bit outdated. Since then I found several more recipe-parags matches like that; although not as dramatic, because they are shorter and have fewer cribs to match.  

Thanks to @rickforto,I also found that I was using the wrong transcription of the SBJ.  Switching to a more historically plausible version  improved all those matches a lot.  That rooster recipe now has eight instances of 主, and they all match a daiin or one of its common "typos".

Why don't I have a perfect and complete match yet?  Lots of reasons, and I am trying to write up a more complete report. Please patience...

All the best, --stolfi
