Reposted from the Ancient Food Technology list. The vaguely Romance language in which the text is said to be is a wild mishmash of terms from everywhere, but the suggested translations have some consistency -- which may be the product of wishful thinking. You need to click on the 'PDF' link in the page to see the actual paper. RH ---------- Ever since the publication of journal article *The Language and Writing System of Manuscript MS408 Explained*, we have been busy translating the plant pages in order to construct the lexicon for the manuscript. They all relate to matters of female reproduction and the complications that can arise, so the plants are used for various foods and medicines, In the latest paper the plant is used as a form of magic '=C3=A6a' for the purpose of rectifying the damage done by the extreme physical manipulation '=C3=A6ora' described in the previous paper. So, the manuscript does contai= n some magic after all. :0) Here is the link to Plant Series, No. 5: https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fling.au= f.net%2Flingbuzz%2F004917&data=3D02%7C01%7CCLASSICS-L%40lsv.uky.edu%7C2= 6c0b65eff374ae02a4c08d77e78a395%7C2b30530b69b64457b818481cb53d42ae%7C0%7C0%= 7C637116928920409605&sdata=3DrvTR3UrHVefJsjycZLA2oSQaWyGikoYt3feOY6hJ45= g%3D&reserved=3D0 Please spread the word far and wide.
