	Mediaeval cipher manuscripts
		It is clear that he did not know of any cipher system of the period which was not essentially a simple substitution cipher.
		The entire manuscript is in cipher apart from the contents, title and concluding formula.
		This monograph of 27 pages summarises examples of non-diplomatic mediaeval cipher writing known to him.

		Thus, the 0-0 of the Fellowship of the Rosy Cross, privately printed by A.E. Waite in a few short years, actually departed from the Cipher Manuscripts in floor plan and movement of the officers.
		The 1910 Rituals of the Waite Order were composed at a time when A.E. Waite still adhered to the cipher manuscripts.
		But as will be discussed later, after a couple of decades more, Waite initiated an American into the Fellowship of the Rosy Cross, and issued a Charter, with the intention that the Order might be transplanted to the New World.

		The Vatican Library bought the whole collection and the Cipher Manuscript with the other 17 illuminated manuscripts are still listed in the inventory.

	Acquisitions
		Scale models of cryptographic items, rare photos of cryptologic sites and platforms, rare books and manuscripts on cryptology and models of cipher machines, wheels and discs are just a few of the items the Foundation and Museum would be very interested in helping you preserve for posterity.
		The centerpiece of the new artifacts acquired in CY2004 for the National Cryptologic Museum is a pair of very rare five-rotor Hebern cipher machines.
		One of the biggest challenges for any museum is the ability to rotate and refresh its displays on a periodic basis in order to attract repeat visitors to the museum.

	Oak Island Treasure
		Sir Francis Bacon was familiar with the science of preserving manuscripts in mercury.
		It is certainly possible that Bacon had the contacts and status to arrange a secret burial of his valuable manuscripts in a preservative mercury bath.
		In fact, a Dr Orville Ward Owen, a follower of Bacon's ciphers followed instructions in a Baconian cipher and discovered a mysterious underground chamber beneath the bed of the River Wye, in the West of Britain.

	The Open Source Order of the Golden Dawn
		The "Inner Order", which became active in 1892, was the circle of Adepts who had completed the entire course of study and Initiations of the Outer Order contained in the Cipher Manuscripts.
		A member of the Second Order has the power and authority to Initiate aspirants to the First Order, though usually not without the permission of the Chiefs of his or her Lodge.
		This group eventually became known as the Second Order (the Outer Order being the "First" Order), and the "Third" Order was considered to be the "Secret Chiefs" or "Ascended Masters", the mysterious keepers of all Western esotericism.

	The Order of the Twilight Star, by Arthur Machan
		10: "Machen's version of the discovery of the cipher manuscripts -- they were found in a second hand bookshop -- was probably widely accepted in the Order, as it derives from a source which every member would have been familiar: Bulwer Lytton's novel Zanoni, first published in 1842."

	Biography of Dr. William Wynn Westcott
		Westcott was fully conversant with Masonic rituals, and immediately realized that the Golden Dawn Cipher Manuscripts were a series of five summarized grade initiations.
		Westcott was described by associates of his time as "docile, scholarly, industrious, addicted to regalia and histrionics." He seems to have had no "girlfriends" in the ordinarily accepted sense, but had a great many "platonic" friendships with female initiates.
		Westcott was soon admitted to the nucleus of the Theosophical Society, the Esoteric Section, and became close friends with Anna Kingsford and Edward Maitland who were proponents of Christian Esotercism.

	Cryptologia: Breakthrough in renaissance cryptography: A book review
		All the numerical data in Book 3 that Trithemius passes off as astrological turns out to be numerical cipher text, which Ernst handily breaks.
		Ernst has summarized his immensely erudite monograph for the cryptographic community in his article "The Numerical-Astrological Ciphers in the Third Book of Trithemius's Steganographia," in the October 1998 issue of CRYPTOLOGIA.
		Ernst's work is written in German with many passages in Latin, has 203 pages of text, 2 pages of halftone illustration of Steganographia manuscripts, 801 footnotes, but no bibliography or index.

	Llewellyn Encyclopedia: The History of the Golden Dawn
		While the Cipher manuscripts are genuine, it is certain that Westcott made up the story about Anna Sprengel and her letters.
		The story of the Golden Dawn, like that of any human organization, is replete with high points and low points—with human achievements and human failings.
		In fact, when Golden Dawn magicians are able to come to terms with the mixed bag of the Order’s history, they are less likely to fall into the trap of egotism—the scourge of magical Orders and religions alike.

	Esoteric Order of the Golden Dawn ® - William Wynn Westscott Biography
		The cipher used in the Golden Dawn manuscripts was similar to one used in the 15th century by Abbott Trithemius to encode some of his writings.
		The grade structure of the Golden Dawn paralleled that of the S.R.I.A., with the exception of the highest degree of Ipsissimus, which was called Jesus in the S.R.I.A..
		Kenneth Grant asserts that "...The Golden Dawn was the inner Mystery School of the Order that formulated itself in the outer world as the Theosophical Society." The Theosophical Society antedated the Golden Dawn by six years.

	List of writing systems - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A number of manuscripts from comparable recent past may be written in an invented writing system, a cipher of an existing writing system or may only be an hoax.
		Several of these systems, such as Epi-Olmec and Indus, are claimed to have been deciphered, but these claims have not been confirmed by independent researchers.
		In logographic writing systems, glyphs represents words or morphemes (meaningful components of words, as in mean-ing-ful), rather than phonetic elements.

		Thou had books printed on paper made especially for him, and by the time of his death had accumulated a library of some 1,000 manuscripts and 8,000 books.
		Many of his books were simply bound in red, olive, or citron colored morocco, with plain boards, a few border lines in gilt, and his coat of arms in the center of the upper cover, surrounded by laurel branches, but with only the title and his cipher on the spine.
		Thou is generally called de Thou and is often indexed under D, although his Latin name, and the one under which he wrote, was and is Thuanus.

		Doreen states on P200 of 'The Rebirth of Witchcraft': "I knew that the origin of the cipher manuscripts upon which the elaborate rituals of the most important magical order of modern times were based had long been a matter of great speculation among occult students.
		Doreen Valiente dismissed the claim that Crowley 'dutifully copied out the present Gardnerian Book of Shadows.' However, the reasons given for her rejection caused reverberations which she could never have envisaged.
		Doreen's attempt to disassociate Wicca from Crowley's influence is highlighted by a rebuttal of a 'Lugh' claim.

	Esoteric Order of the Golden Dawn ® - William Wynn Westscott Biography
		Westcott was fully conversant with Masonic rituals, and immediately realized that the Golden Dawn Cipher Manuscripts were a series of five summarized grade initiations.
		Both Dr. Westcott and Mathers (Dr. Woodman died very early on in the Golden Dawn's history) were both honest, hermetic scholars, and the teaching of their members fell on their shoulders.
		Another, seemingly unexplored affinity between Westcott and Mathers, is speculated as the anti-vivisection movement in England at the time they were together.

	* SBL 2004 paper
		Nor do abbreviations of other kinds occur, not even of numbers in cipher form ("12" for "twelve") -- although the surviving fragments seldom record numbers in any form -- the absence of which would be consistent with what is typical of other Greek literary manuscripts from the same period.
		I have argued elsewhere that early Christian scribal practices such as the use of spacing to divide sense units (or even words), the use of marginal section markers, and some related format features were probably learned or borrowed from Jewish techniques.
		\5/ He also considers "most puzzling" the ambiguous fragment POxy 1007 "part of a leaf of a parchment codex of Genesis dated to the third century" in which the tetragrammaton is abbreviated in paleo-Hebrew, followed by an abbreviated form of QEOS.
