Thanks to both of you for the fantastic research! I really hope this will bring us closer to a solution.
Just two questions from a (relative) newbie:
- Are there any published studies that rely heavily on the quire-wise ordering being correct, and thus probably would need to be re-done with the new proposal?
- Is it pure chance that Ol and Shedy have the exact same word frequency in the text? See Fig. 3A:
If this was a substitution cipher, this would be explained by both words being synonyms for one even more common word, and just used interchangeably.
But my probability calculus is a bit rusty, so I can't really tell how much of a coincidence this is.
