Voynich Manuscript

GC1M2NP A Lesson in Ciphers # 1 (Unknown Cache) in Missouri, United States created by TripCyclone This cache series is designed to give you an introduction to the world of ciphers. It will not cover every type of cipher out there, instead focusing on a small variety of different ciphers. Hopefully, you will walk away from solving this series with a new set of puzzle solving skills. And maybe, just maybe, you'll be able to go to that puzzle that's always bothered you and begin to see it with a new pair of eyes. I have designed this series such that you will not be able to solve them all in one swipe. How you may ask? Cryptography is defined as the practice and study of hiding information. For your first lesson, we'll use a cipher that I am certain ALL OF YOU have used already. abeguguveglrvtugqrterrfsvsglsbhecbvaggjbbarguerr jrfgavarglsbheqrterrfguveglguerrcbvagmrebsviravar You are looking for a small lock 'n lock container.

The Voynich Manuscript Decoded? I give examples to show that the code used in the Voynich Manuscript is probably a series of Italian word anagrams written in a fancy embellished script. This code, that has been confusing scholars for nearly a century, is therefore not as complicated as it first appears. All attempts over the past century to decode this mysterious manuscript have met with failure. Determine the language used in writing the manuscript Correlate the Voynich alphabet with the modern English alphabet Decipher the code If Leonardo da Vinci was the author of the VM, he would have used the language of Dante, i.e. medieval Italian, so I have assumed the VM language to be Italian. The Italian alphabet does not use the letter X. Povere leter rimon mist(e) ispero Which translates into English as follows: Plain letter reassemble mixed inspire This brief sentence indicated that the use of anagrams should be investigated.

Soyga: the book that kills There is a book which is a faithful representation of the Universe.Borges would have loved its story. Here it is. Put yourself in John Dee’s shoes. It really happened on March 10, 1582. London, Mortlake District. John Dee: “Ys my boke, of Soyga, of any excellency?” Speaking through Kelley, Uriel replies: Uriel: “Liber ille, erat Ada[m]e in Paradiso reuelatus, per Angelos Dei bonos.” The dialogue between Dee (signing himself with a delta letter) and VR (Uriel)taken from the Spiritual Diaries written by the alchemist. The Archangel speaks in Latin, explaining that the pages of the books are special: they were revealed to Adam by the “good angels of God” in the garden of Eden. John Dee: “Will you give me any instructions, how I may read those Tables of Soyga?” “Book of Soyga”, Table 1 (Aries), Bodleian Library, Oxford University, MS Bodley, 908, fol. 180r. Uriel explains that only the Archangel Michael knows its secret: Uriel: “Solus Michael illius libri est interpretator.” The finding (1994) Notes

MP3Stego When looking at the steganographic tools available on the Net, it occurred to me that nothing had been done to hide information in MP3 files, that is sound tracks compressed using the MPEG Audio Layer III format. There is a growing interest world-wide in MP3 or indeed WMA files because they offer near-CD quality at compression ratio of 11 to 1 (128 kilobits per second). This gives a very good opportunity for information hiding. Although WMA has better quality in general, I did not have access to code and only an implementation for MP3 is provided as a proof of concept. MP3Stego will hide information in MP3 files during the compression process. The hiding process takes place at the heart of the Layer III encoding process namely in the inner_loop. We have discussed earlier the power of parity for information hiding.

Le mystère du manuscrit de Voynich Le célèbre manuscrit de Voynich est un véritable casse-tête depuis près de cinq siècles : le texte n'a pas de titre, nous ignorons qui l’a écrit et sa langue nous est inconnue ! À ce jour, personne n’a percé la totalité des secrets de cet étrange document. Il s’agit de l’un des manuscrits les plus mystérieux de l’Histoire : son contenu demeure indéchiffrable et a fait l'objet de nombreuses recherches et hypothèses…infructueuses… Son origine est également sujette à de nombreuses interrogations. Est-ce un canular,un livre codé, un authentique travail scientifique du Moyen Age ? Son nom vient du collectionneur et bibliophile, Wilfrid Voynich, qui le (re) découvrit en 1912, parmi une collection de manuscrits anciens conservés dans la Villa Mondragone, à Frascati, près de Rome. Le manuscrit est conservé à la Bibliothèque Beinecke de l’université Yale. Découverte du manuscrit Une lettre troublante Athanasius Kircher (~ 1601 à 1680) était l'un des hommes les plus savants de son époque.

Monas Hieroglyphica Translation The solution to a riddle will not make sense if you haven’t heard the riddle first. To fully appreciate my thesis its important to be familiarwith the text and illustrations of what Dee considered to be his most cherished work, the Monas Hieroglyphica. It’s an Elizabethan puzzle book that cryptically explains Dee’s mathematical cosmology, and whichI consider to be the “owner’s manual” for the Tower. To encourage you to first try and solve Dee’s riddleson your own, here are two free downloadable PDF’s. On the left is Dee’s original Latin text and on the right is my new translation into English: Monas Hieroglyphica in English Hint to dedicated puzzle solvers: Some of Dee’s tricky word codes are “lost intranslation.” Monas Hieroglyphica in Latin

Cryptography When I wrote my first book, Fermat’s Last Theorem, I made a passing reference to the mathematics of cryptography. Although I did not know it at the time, this was the start of a major interest in the history and science of codes and code breaking, which has resulted in a 400-page book on the subject, an adaptation of the book for teenagers, a 5-part TV series, numerous talks and lectures, the purchase of an Enigma cipher machine and the development of an interactive crypto CD-ROM. In the Crypto Corner, you will find details about my book on cryptography (The Code Book), information about my TV series based on the book (The Science of Secrecy) and you can explore the Black Chamber, which is an interactive encryption and codebreaking section. You will also find a section about the Cipher Challenge, there are some cryptograms (coded messages) for you to try and crack, a free downloadable CD-ROM version of The Code Book, and a quick Q&A based on the questions I am most often asked.

Nag Hammadi Library The Nag Hammadi Library, a collection of thirteen ancient books (called "codices") containing over fifty texts, was discovered in upper Egypt in 1945. This immensely important discovery includes a large number of primary "Gnostic Gospels" – texts once thought to have been entirely destroyed during the early Christian struggle to define "orthodoxy" – scriptures such as the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, and the Gospel of Truth. The discovery and translation of the Nag Hammadi library, initially completed in the 1970's, has provided impetus to a major re-evaluation of early Christian history and the nature of Gnosticism. For an introduction to the Nag Hammadi discovery and the texts in this ancient library, we offer several resources. First, read an excerpt from Elaine Pagels' excellent popular introduction to the Nag Hammadi texts, The Gnostic Gospels. This leaves a small number of scriptures of the Nag Hammadi Library which may be called "unclassifiable."

Sharky's Vigenere Cipher This page is for amusement only. Instructions are given below this form. instructions: Enter the string to encrypt or decrypt in the Input field (you may copy and paste it from another text editor). Enter the key in the Key field. On most computers: To copy: Highlight text, press Ctrl-C; To paste: Position cursor, press Ctrl-V. explanation: Vigenere coding is one of the most ancient forms of cryptography. Choose a key that is as long as the plaintext message. Unfortunately, these steps take all the fun out of the Vigenere cipher. Vigenere ciphers with moderate keys are appropriate for situations that do not require failproof security. We hope you enjoy this simple JavaScript-based implementation. Le manuscrit de Voynich Decrypté par un membre du Blog De l’Etrange ? | Le Blog De L'Etrange Petit Récapitulatif: Le manuscrit de Voynich est un livre illustré écrit entre 1408 et 1436 à l’aide d’un alphabet inconnu par un auteur inconnu. Le mystère demeure entier quant à la nature exacte de ce manuscrit puisque les thèses les plus diverses s’affrontent. Certains le jugent authentique, et émettent des théories pour expliquer son apparente inintelligibilité pour les chercheurs et soutenir l’hypothèse d’un contenu signifiant. D’après les travaux de Gordon Rugg, il pourrait aussi s’agir d’une supercherie. Le livre tire son nom d’un de ses anciens propriétaires, Wilfrid M. En 1962, Hans Kraus fait une description du manuscrit sur son catalogue de vente. L’intégralité du manuscrit a été publiée pour la première fois par un éditeur français en octobre 2005.

The Munich Manual of Demonic Magic - Black Witch Coven Munich Handbook of Necromany is the “recipe book” of a fifteen century German magician, likely according to Kieckhefer, a priest or lesser cleric. It consists of specific instructions for evocations of spirits and for accomplishing acts of illusion, domination and love and divination. If you are looking to research into advanced black magick, can I recommended the following book, “The Munich Manual of Demonic Magic.” Also known as The Necromancer’s Manual, this grimoire is the work of a 15th century German magician who wanted to produce a sourcebook for evoking demonic spirits. The Manual contains the three major kinds of magick found in grimoires: Illusionist, Psychological, and Divinatory. Illusionist spells are meant to fool people into seeing things like castles or armies.Psychological spells are meant to leverage emotional or political power over people.Divinatory actions are intended to extract information from the future or past.

Keyed Caesar One variation to the standard Caesar cipher is when the alphabet is "keyed" by using a word. In the traditional variety, one could write the alphabet on two strips and just match up the strips after sliding the bottom strip to the left or right. To encode, you would find a letter in the top row and substitute it for the letter in the bottom row. For a keyed version, one would not use a standard alphabet, but would first write a word (omitting duplicated letters) and then write the remaining letters of the alphabet. This encoder will let you specify the key word that is used at the beginning of the alphabet and will also let you shift the keyed alphabet around, just like a normal Caesar cipher. This is your encoded or decoded text:
