Bingo! One of the first words on the tip of my tongue as I looked more closely at it, Andrew, was also "cipher". I'm just pitching in my thoughts here, mesinik, as I am less qualified than Andrew, but here's some key words that 'struck' me while looking at it.
Of course, the illustrations look medieval, and the overall "feel" of the codex is Slavonic as Andrew postulated (Romanian, perhaps?), but the 'language' itself strikes me as "Draconic". I noticed an infatuation with 3's throughout the pictures (words subsistent of the same letters, clumped), and so this is essentially my tentative thesis:
a hermetic text.
I think with a code key, it just might say something intelligible. Such as what? I dunno, but I don't think they'd be visiting our forum. To whom? I have no idea, but it reminds me of Aleister Crowley for some reason <!-- s
