This figure shows Folio 19 left: Borage (Borago officinalis). The first line of the accompanying text reads: ‘panais-or o nauira æo arna o péor omor or é’epe a doméas t’ (the narrow golden taproot, its bark has the potency to kill the domestic/family belly). Borage oil has a long history as a toxic uterine stimulant for inducing miscarriage and abortion, which was commonly practised to deal with unwanted pregnancies as a form of birth control

Let me help you. The 200 page manuscript says, in summary.... "it will never be ready in time"

I just spent too much time reading the Wikipedia for this thing, and I think it’s a hoax.

I won’t trust whatever is deciphered from it.

That’s awesome!

The manuscript has been a perplexing artifact for a very long time.

I’ve been following the story so long, I’ll probably read the whole thing.

OCR May catch a few things but it will take context clues to fill in the gap, then repetition.

It’s a beautiful work of art and history as well. So symbols won’t get OCR’d into a translation.

That’s even assuming someone has built the jumbled language engine to take a stab at OCR translations.

I see "Baw" twice.

It's an ancient OT.

They say the translation is a little rough but basically it says

"Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you, never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye, never gonna tell a lie and hurt you"

Same. I never was satisfied with the idea that someone would go to that much expense to produce a hoax.

Dammit. I tried for years to crack it using only lateral thinking. If I had thought to use ingenuity I would famous right now.

What’s the point of such a manuscript? I think people hearing about will think it’s from some ancient time before we had known languages instead of from a few hundred years ago.

Google it on YouTube as an unsolved mystery and you’ll appreciate it more.

A sentence or two here will be of no help.

It appears to be a compendium on herbal remedies, therapeutic bathing and astrological readings about the female mind, the body, reproduction and parenting according to the Catholic and ancient Roman religious beliefs.

I mean, it’s cool and everything, but it’s not likely anything of substance. Just some old baw writing in secret code. I’m more interested in the antikythera mechanism. How something like that could be made BC and the technology not realized again for 1500 years is mind boggling.
