For further info, if anyone is interested, Stephen Bax claimed a decade ago to partially decode the manuscript; here’s a video with his reasoning, as well as the paper he released. Sadly Bax passed away in 2017 (may he rest in peace), so the work was left incomplete.

    Some believe the book is a medieval medical encyclopedia, while others argue it’s an elaborate hoax, carefully crafted to impress or deceive wealthy collectors of the time.

    It’s obviously a hoax if it’s received the amount of attention the article suggests and no one can identify a language.
