looks interesting
500 year old sci-fi book of drawings
dated from the height of Romes global power out reach
if WWII code breakers cant decipher it
then i think its more likely to be a deliberate nonsense text
language must have constants
equally mathematics
all language can be turned into mathematics
so all mathematics can be turned into language
so all language can be broken
unless you do not have the full range of values inside a working equation
in which case
you have part of something that has no ability to form an outcome
like half a very long equation with no reference key
could it be written with an enigma code ?
possibly
if it changed on every page ?
yes that would make sense
so every page was a different key...
people have probably already tried that many times
what about rotating cypher's per sentence or line
or worse still a key template with moving values like a punch card with moving cypher's
so each page has a corresponding number for the cypher
which has a randomizing effect on every page to devalue set value sets
such a thing would be almost impossible to crack
who was wanting what then ?
Rome was wanting ways to send secret orders to all over the world
so were various other global colonial intent powers
making a fake code to sell to some foreign power to make a fortune then run off would be ideal
occam's razor ?
worlds oldest best scam ?
Logic delivers Science, Emotions deliver Feelings.

It's very likely a futile exercise trying to encourage someone like you to do a quick search at SF before posting on a well-worn subject. Anyway, said quick search reveals:

A multitude of earlier posts on that issue. But then you do get a buzz just from getting responses to your machine gun level serial posting of 'inquiring' threads regardless of how well-worn the topic is - no?
