[split] BessAgritianin's reading of 116v

[ReneZ]

I think it is good that @BessAgritianin's reading is out in the open, and that there can be no doubt that this is her original work.

Now in my opinion, nobody knows the right answer, i.e. what the original author of this line intended to say.

This leads to the usual problem in the discussion of this proposed reading, namely that this is opinion vs. opinion, and there is no effective way to judge how much weight should be given to each individual opinion.

The first time I was ever impressed by any interpretation of the text on this page was the reading by Johannes Albus (pseudonym) that he presented at Villa Mondragone in 2012. This is because he clarified the reading "poxleber", incorporated the reading by Richard Salomon of "so nim Geiss Milch", and pointed out that the animal in the margin was a goat, linking it to either or both of poxleber and Geissmilch, and showing it was drawn similar to the animals in the Aries zodiac emblems.

So, I was impressed. No earlier reading ever put so many things together. But I don't know how much of his reading of the text is correct. I have no expertise in the matter, and I will also refrain from trying to judge this new interpretation, for the same reason. I know that some people who seem to know what they are talking about had some objections to Johannes Albus' reading, but again, I cannot judge that, and I wonder who, in this forum, can. 
But I also don't know the answer to that.
