Since I think the text is written in some otherwise unknown language in an unencrypted form, I think the only way to understand the text is by making some kind of connection between it and the illustrations. We can't really know for sure if this is possible or not. It depends on the specifics. I tend to assume that the text is related to the illustrations, but we don't know how closely related it is in general.
