Re: VMs: Personal Guess

["Larry Roux" <lroux@xxxxxxx>]

Ok...I'll bite

When?	Late 1500s
Where?	England
Who?	?
What?	Ask me last year and I would have guessed it is in Latin.  Now I am leaning towards a copy of pages from existing sources.  Perhaps with personal ideas interjected.  A constructed language containing elements of Latin, French and Italian.  Not meant to be a cipher, but more a thought experiment.

Of course, if I were to answer this tomorrow I might give another answer.  I try not to let my guesses lead me down a path, but let the manuscript take me there...

	All right.  I'll see if I can get it going.  My
personal guess,
not what we'd call a "intimate conviction" in English!

When?	1450-1500
Where?	Northern Italy
Who?	An unknown subculture
What?	An encyclopedic work on a system of herbal 
	medicine, derived somewhat from western 
	European folk and esoteric thought, but 
	with many original, shamanistic elements.
	Written in some Romance dialect, in a verbose
	word game-like cipher.
