The Penitentia Manuscript is designed to be deliberately very different from the Ricardus Manuscript, which was directly inspired by the Voynich Manuscript.
Like the Ricardus Manuscript, it contains a significant quantity of meaningful text. Like the Ricardus Manuscript, it deliberately departs from some of the standard assumptions in modern code-making.
An experienced codebreaker will probably work out fairly swiftly what system is being used in this manuscript, but actually deciphering it is likely to be more difficult.
