Like an early Renaissance version of time cube.

Its a fascinating little puzzle, though. =)

It is my understanding that an analysis of the symbols and their strwould appear to indicate that the document does no record a language. In which case the document is likely an elaborate fraud designed by someone as an hoax made to extract forminable amounts of lucrte from thhe guillible by dressing something up as a manuscript filled with such secret arcane knowledge that it has to be inparted by a cipher. If it is such a hoax someone went through a enormopus amount of effort to do so.

If it is in fact a real code and has a real message; Isuspect the “message” is nothing more than the usual arcane, mystical alchemy new age Middle Ages woo that was popular among so many back then and even now.
