Is the text supposed to translate to something useful? It doesn't appear to follow the language's conventions. How is it deciphered, and in which direction should it be read? Is its content story-related or does it answer the monolith puzzle?

The tome consists of haikus. Some were spread throughout the game—written on walls and repeated by owls. The book is read three-dimensionally, using a letter from each page in this order: 15263748. The text isn't rotated, and the translation starts in the upper-right corner and moves downwards. The decyphering technique is described at GameFAQs.
