 		Note that the third image includes a bit of text in the lower-right corner
seems like a URL portion

 		Tried encoding using the knight moves just because:

404620073541501
TPTVUPPZVUTTUPT

your_answer=incorrect

It's 15 digits, so it can't be the (row,column) coordinates of letters on the codex image.

PS: how did you get the 4 letters? This puzzle might be solvable with the same or similar logic

Edit: info on 'geis' (that's a new word for me):
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geis
Quote:

In Irish mythology and folklore, a geis (pronounced /ˈɡɛʃ/, plural geasa) is an idiosyncratic taboo, whether of obligation or prohibition, similar to being under a vow or spell.

A geis can be compared with a curse or, paradoxically, a gift. If someone under a geis violates the associated taboo, the infractor will suffer dishonor or even death. On the other hand, the observing of one's geasa is believed to bring power. Often it is women who place geasa upon men. In some cases the woman turns out to be a goddess or other sovereignty figure.


Apparently the plural is "Geasa"

Nice job.
I was looking at something similar but the black and white squares in the 'Diagonal' images were misleading me (was trying to start from a white square with the first image and a black square in the second).
But the two Diagonal squares next to each other fit the big image with all the letters: makes sense. Thanks

404620073541501

404 = EVE ?

Heck, 'EVE MANDERA DEATH' fits but didn't work (and would mean that not all E are encoded as 4 /sigh
