i’ve been interested in this book for a while, but the scribbles sure look to me like fake-o writing

my impression is that it is a real medieval book, but written by somebody who wanted to create a fake source of authority “written” in something that looks like language but isn’t really, so that they could pretend to find whatever answer they wanted to give in it

re: #3 engineer cat

The trouble with that is that you essentially need really advanced computers/math to make something that holds up to statistical analysis as “probably a language.” A monk or whatever scribbling gibberish into a book is going to produce something that we would see clearly as made-up gibberish. It’s kind of an infinite-monkeys problem to make a convincing fake that far back.
