Olivier de Vasseur - The Seychelles Pirate Treasure Chart

me thinks i better clarify my last post.
firstly ty hardluck for the confirmation on the sources, much appreciated.

ok cryptogram, like most i have converted script into english, mine may differ slightly as i think parts of it have been doctored, thus giving a different meaning, word or saying.
bar that i will guess once converted it looks like this;

A P R ? E ? M E ? U N E P A I R E D E P I J O N T I R E S ? E T

etc etc etc.
other stuff that came out was , v rules (v on contours) more taken , 2 let broken on the path, we want a roof...........peker hard a woman, to avenge a coloured to a breadfruit tree for running to taylor.
the rest of what i have is all few words here some there, let sleeping man......makes.....difference.

perhaps someone french speaking can check its roughly right or am i being a muppet?

Hello All

Captevil: I think you might have an interesting point about the Gregorian calendar because it was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in about 1582. Only 4 counties adopted it at the time. Britian only adopted it in 1752. France adopted the Gregorian calender in 20 December 1582 and was later replaced with the French republican calender for 12 years after the French revolution in 1789 and later reverted back  in about 1801 to Gregorian calender after the Republic collapsed.

So if this cypher was written how it was, we could suppose the author of it was French and used Gregorian Calender?

 If the Cypher was writen in French by an English man he would perhaps he would not have used the Gregorian calender? Because English did not adopt the calendar until 1752. If he had then perhaps he was Catholic because in Puritan England they saw the calendar as a Catholic threat until 1752?

Gee this is getting very interesting. Keep up the good work all. It would be nice to find out the missing archaic French Words?

Hardluck

Heya folks......

i think ye gentelmen r making it a bit complicated than certainly,really it is,& going a bit off track ? (my personal view obviously)

but as i hav noticed, there is some break in cryptogram..... that something is missing, probably due to passage of tym.

to Wuzneme: and thing i've been thinking is that what is the clear picture of yer decoded cryptogram
                  Further according to all of ya was the cryptogram Fake or real  
                    & and i've some ample of info about La buse....
