      The sad part here is that these premium puzzles are often easier to solve than many of the simple puzzles.

    as a fact da vinci used to write things backwards, but it was not so that others couldnt read them but because he was left- handed and back at his time left-handed people were not taught seperatly how to write so he just whote like the others but from the right because it was more comfertable for him)))

    I believe "Codex Silenda" translates to _Silent Book_ . Cool name. Way cool puzzles.

    • @rasendra4392
      @rasendra4392 4 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Not exactly. "Silent Book" is _Codex Silens_ or _Codex Silentus_ .
      The real puzzle here is what they meant with that name.
      Hypothesis 1. They messed with the grammar.
      In Latin, when you see a word that ends with -a usually is either a feminine singular or a neuter plural. When it ends with -ndus/nda/ndum it can be a gerundive (a future passive participle), a participle or a passive form. Henceforth _silenda_ is actually a verb that can be translated with "which is to be silent" or "which must be kept silent/not to be spoken about" or "which is to be silenced".
      Since adjectives in Latin basically come from participles, one can surmise that in medieval Latin existed an adjective _silendus_ even if it does not occur in ancient Latin.
      The main issue here is that _codex_ is a masculine singular, nominative case, so it must end with -us or, in its passive form, with -um (accusative) or _de_ + -o (ablative).
      Therefore, "The Book that have to be Silent" etc. should be translated as _Codex Silendus_ .
      Hypothesis 2. They were referring to something else.
      _Silenda_ is not declined along with _codex_ , but with an implicit nominative/accusative neuter plural or feminine singular. We can infer what this implicit term could be. If a neuter plural, then can be translated as "the things that have to be kept silent", while a nominative feminine singular doesn't make much sense here, unless it was intended in genitive case ( _silendae_ , "of the silent/not to speak about (woman)"), referring to Da Vinci's Mona Lisa.
      So we have 4 possible meanings intended:
      _The Silent Book_ (hypothetical or fictional medieval Latin with wrong grammar)
      _The Book that is to be kept silent/not to be spoken about/silenced_ (wrong grammar)
      _The Book of the woman one should not speak about_ (wrong grammar)
      _The Book of things that have to be kept unspoken_ (right grammar). < my fav guess so far.
