Even if it was "just" an (extraordinarily wealthy and precocious) child with a fondness for plants, cosmology, and female bodies carefully inscribing nonsense by repeatedly doodling the same few characters in blocks that look like the illuminated manuscripts this child would also need access to, that's still impressive and interesting.
