How did Doctor Strange understand the writings in the Book of Cagliostro? Just by reading the book he learned how to make hand signs to control the power of the Eye of Agamotto.
Best Answer
It seems clear that whatever language the Book (and others) were written in was learned by Stephen Strange during his somewhat lengthy stay at Kamar-taj.
He's already read several other obscure magical books which may or may not have been in English such as
The Book of the Invisible Sun.
Astronomia Nova.
Codex Imperium.
Key of Solomon.
When moving on to more "advanced" works Wong says...
WONG: This section is for Masters only. But at my discretion, others may use it. We should start with Maxim's Primer*. How is your Sanskrit?
STRANGE: I'm fluent in Google Translate.
WONG: Read it. Classical Sanskrit.
*A primer (in this sense usually pronounced is a first textbook for teaching of reading, such as an alphabet book or basal reader. The word also is used more broadly to refer to any book that presents the most basic elements of any subject

What did Dr Strange use to be able to read the stolen pages from the book of Cagliostro?
Seeking to push his limits, Stephen Strange began tampering with the Eye of Agamotto and the Book of Cagliostro. Using the Eye's power, Strange experimented with its power by making an apple regrow and then rot, and recovering the lost pages stolen by Kaecilius, discovering the Eye gave him control over time itself.What spell did Kaecilius steal?
In Doctor Strange, Kaecilius goes in person to Kamar-Taj to steal pages from the book that contained a ritual. Why didn't he simply use the teleport spell to teleport directly inside the library and get all the books he wanted? He could have done it while the library protector was asleep.What book is missing in DR strange?
The Darkhold is an ancient book of spells and power that is also known as the Book of the Damned, the Book of Spells, and the Book of Sins. It was created in the Dark Dimension, which is the same dimension Doctor Strange faces off against Dormammu in 2016's "Doctor Strange."Is Doctor Strange Cagliostro?
In the comics, Cagliostro was one of many aliases adopted through history by a sorcerer who achieved immortality thanks to knowledge of the Darkhold. He was a teacher of Victor von Doom and an enemy of Doctor Strange. Cagliostro was also an alias used by a different character, the time travelling sorcerer Sise-Neg.More answers regarding how did Doctor Strange understand the writings in the Book of Cagliostro?
Answer 2
Please remember that Stephen(Dr. Strange) highlights the fact that he has a very good photographic memory, which helped him a lot in his medical career. (I suppose that he saying this to The Ancient One was actually the story-writers' way of logically stating the fact that Stephen is good in learning new languages.)
It basically concludes that it was easy for him to remember new languages (remembering the alphabets, word formations etc as photos).
Also, no matter how old a book is, certain translations or helping aids are passed down the generations along the book as well, most importantly, the skill to read a language is passed along generations, no matter how much specific group of people may be in it, they can always enable others to do the same.
