Register or Login to view.The summary remains that there is no doubt that similar words appear near each other, or on the same page, but there is no evidence that suggests that this is the result of an intentional process to copy words from previous words while making arbitrary changes.

Quote:Torsten Timm has consistently said that his autocopy method is one of the few practical pre-modern ways to generate large amounts of gibberish.

This algorithm is what the medieval scribe would have done.
I have not looked into it, but I understand that Nick Pelling has, and he commented that it has quite a number of very specific choices.
In my opinion this concept is modern and would not fit a medieval mind. The best a medieval person could do would be to throw a die, and this is making the process slow.
