Thank you, John.  I checked out the article-- very interesting.
It left me with the feeling that the _Lingua Ignota_ is more of
a secret code for a cabal of feminist nuns than a divinely
inspired celestial language (such as, I suppose, John Dee's
Enochian) or an expression of her artisitic creativity through
the medium of linguistics.
