Like, is everyone ignoring the picture at the top of the article? That looks like a pretty believable direct translation of the ligatures to me. I know its not the whole thing, but it is plausibly consistent.
That image is titled p16_Gibbs1.jpg. To me that hints that the author is serious and is planning to release a detailed paper.
His final statement at the end of the article is really bold. "Not only is the manuscript incomplete, but its folios are in the wrong order – and all for the want of an index."
Perhaps the author is going to provide the index, and the correct order for the folios while providing what he believes to be the missing pieces from other texts from that time period?
This article looks like a teaser to me for something significant. Let's hope anyway.
