	Johannes Trithemius - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		JOHANNES TRITHEMIUS (1462-1516), German historian and divine, was born at Trittenheim on the Moselle, on the 1st of February 1462.
		Trithemius was, though an accomplished scholar, untrustworthy as a chronicler, and his Annales hirsaugienses (1514), Annales de origine Francorum, as well as his Chronologia mystica (1516) are, on this account, of doubtful value.

	German monk's 500-year-old mystery solved
		Johannes Trithemius, a German abbot, leading scholar and counselor to Emperor Maximilian I, had found a means of delivering messages within 24 hours that required no letters, no books, no messengers.
		The encryption technique Trithemius employed is an early, primitive version of what would centuries later beget the Enigma machine, the ingenious device that Germany used during World War II to encrypt messages and that the Allies famously used to read those messages.
		Trithemius was able to weather the controversy, though his role as an adviser to Maximilian may have fed it further, Ernst said.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: John Trithemius
		A short visit to the monastery of Sponheim was to prove of decisive importance for the young Trithemius; hardly had the travellers taken leave of the monks when a snowstorm obliged them to return to the monastery.
		But Trithemius sought the quiet and peace of a more retired life, and this he found as abbot of the Scottish monastery of St. Jacob, at Würzburg (1506).

	Celenza
		Johannes Trithemius, 1462-1516, the Benedictine, was a notable monastic humanist.
		Trithemius, together with some of them, helped form the Rhenish literary sodality, an important vehicle in the German humanist movement, and went on to become abbot of two different monasteries, at Sponheim (1482-1506, abbot from 1484), and then Würzburg, where he remained for the last ten years of his life.
		In the present work he offers an examination of Trithemius's magical work, arguing that Trithemius is especially interesting not so much because of the way he practiced magic, but rather because of the manner in which he justified it and the contextual place it held in his life and output.

	Tertullian : MSS Known to Trithemius in 1492
		Trithemius gives no incipit for these, and one might suspect that in fact he had not seen these works and that he just copied the titles from Jerome’s De viris illustribus, except that he mentions De spectaculis which is not listed there.
		Trithemius was very active in the meetings of the group, and visited many of the monasteries, in the process obtaining books for his own abbey from monks who did not understand their worth.
		Trithemius was a complex man whose attitudes included a sincere devotion to the monastic life, an even stronger commitment to humanistic literary studies, and an interest in the ‘secret knowledge’ of the time which he attempted to use for technical purposes.

		ohannes Trithemius was born Johann Heidenberg in Trittenheim on the Mosel in what is now the German state of Rheinland-Pfalz on February 1, 1462.
		Trithemius sets forth a hierarchy of angels and spirits ruling over regions of the Earth as well as days and hours.
		This insistence on the consonance between magic and Christianity is particularly pronounced in Trithemius, a Benedictine Abbot.

	Polyalphabetic cipher
		Alberti used a Caesar cipher to encrypt a message, but whenever he wanted to he would switch to a different alphabet, indicating that he had done so by capitalizing the first letter encrypted with the new alphabet.
		Johannes Trithemius[?], in a book published after his death, invented a progressive key polyalphabetic cipher.
		Trithemius' cypher was trivial to break, and Alberti's not much more difficult (the capitalized letter is a major clue to the cryptanalyst), but they laid the groundwork for future ciphers using the powerful ideas of polyalphabeticity and key progression.

	Introduction to 'Goethe, Faust, and Science' seminar.
		Johannes Trithemius, the abbot of Spanheim, where he assembled a huge library, and later of St. James at Wurtzburg had, as already noted, a reputation as a magician, which caused him many difficulties.
		Trithemius wrote a notorious book (Steganographia), ostensibly about the evocation of spirits, but the part that survives is a system of secret writing; the rest he is supposed to have destroyed (although it might not have been written).
		Trithemius encouraged him to commit his learning to writing, but he delayed publishing his magnum opus, On Occult Philosophy, for twenty years, publishing it in 1531 only after he had attempted to protect himself by recanting it in an apologetic profession of faith, On the Uncertainty and Vanity of the Sciences and Arts.

	Johannes Trithemius (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Trithemius’ treatise is devoted to the highest of the three ranks of angelic spirits called upon in advanced steganography.
		Each in turn governs the world for 354 years and 4 months, and Trithemius describes the events that occurred during the various governments of each one.
		This system, and its association with steganography, illustrates Trithemius’ enduring fascination with astrology and desire to integrate the various “arts” into a system in service of Christian theology and the Catholic faith.

	Enochian language - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema
		Trithemius was intentional with his intermixing of cryptography and angelology, but his interest in angels was sincere, and not only a disguise for the ciphers within.
		The Trithemius symbol for Pamersiel could also be attributed to similarities in the Hebrew Dalet or the Ethiopian G. When making these comparisons, it is easy to see influences across the Proto-Cannanite family, which is the family from which the entirety of influence is based.
		He constantly mentioned Trithemius in his diaries of angelic conversations, was familiar with the work of Agrippa, and there is an obvious evolution from Agrippa's tables and sigils of occult study to Dee's angelic tables and sigils.

	Trithemius about Faust and Mercurio - research to Mantegna Tarocchi
		Trithemius further suggests that Faustus is not only an unstable character and a vagabond, but also an active admirer of young boys.
		Trithemius mentions Virdung's name once more, when he describes the arrival of the magician Johannes Mercurius (another charlatan, in his view) to Lyons, and his success at the French royal court.
		It belongs to the background of this attitude that Trithemius himself was accused of practicing magic as a result of a confidential letter written by him and read by hostile eyes instead of the actual addressee.

		Trithemius (1462—1516) was an important German Benedictine abbot, humanist and reformer.
		In the writings of Trithemius, religious reform is closely identified with reform of monastic education.
		Trithemius was concerned with leading his order, through study, to the very sources of Western monasticism and culture.

		Johannes Trithemius (1 February 1462 - 13 December 1516) was born Johann Heidenberg.
		The name by which he is more commonly known is derived from his native town of Trittenheim on the Moselle in Germany.
		Hirsau was a monastery near Württemberg, whose abbot commissioned the work in 1495, but it took Trithemius until 1514 to finish the two volume, 1400 page work.

	Magus as Renaissance Man
		Trithemius publicly denied that he had any such abilities as to raise the dead, tell the future, or jinx thieves and scoundrels with incantations.
		Trithemius had to have been aware of what he was doing (or not doing) when he omitted this crucial element of Pseudodionysian thought.
		Trithemius often expressed his submission to the authority of the Church, but he never dropped a hint that either the word magic or the planetary magic to which he was given necessarily concluded in a limitation of the godhead.

		Along with Trithemius and Vignère, Porta is generally regarded as one of the founders of modern cryptography.
		Having been accused of dealing in fl magic, Trithemius was at first reluctant to publish the work, and this may account for the discrepancy in dates.
		Although he first published this work at Lyons in 1531, Trithemius apparently completed Steganographia sometime in 1500, and the work became known prior to the publication in 1518 of Polygraphiae, with which it is often confused.

	Wired 3.07: Technopagans
		Though Trithemius was a monk, he was also a hard-core magician, and his Steganographia and Polygraphiae were simultaneously works of encryption and theurgy - the art of invoking gods and spirits.
		Trithemius was no pagan witch - in fact, he encouraged the Church to burn them.
		Historians still can't decide whether Trithemius was disguising his magic as cryptography or vice versa, but the National Security Agency finds his works important enough to display them at its museum in Washington, DC.

		Actually, this is Johanne Trithemius (also Tritheim), the German abbot of Spanheim and a friend of Henry Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim (1486-1533-5), the famed occultist commonly called 'Agrippa.' Besides his knowledge of medicine (Paracelsus was a student of his), Trithemius wrote a number of works on alchemy and magic.
		It is also interesting that Abbot Trithemius is one of the references to the actual existence of a Doctor Faust, having written contemptuously of him in a 1507 letter.
		The Steganographia of Trithemius (the great occult teacher of both Agrippa and Paracelsus) was written at the end of the fifteenth century, and became one of the most influential and notorious of occult texts throughout the sixteenth and seventeen th centuries.

	Gutenberg Bible: The Copy on Paper - the Provenance
		The ownership inscription from volume II Ilona Hubay has suggested that the King's copy may be the book referred to as 'Biblia tota' in the now lost manuscript list of the books which Johannes Trithemius (1462-1516) left to the library of the Schottenkloster.
		If that were so, Trithemius might have got it as a result of his friendship with Peter Schoeffer, one of Gutenberg's staff.
		Peter Schoeffer died in late 1502 or early 1503 and the books left by Trithemius to the Schottenkloster must have been acquired between 1506 and 1516, for when he ceased to be abbot of Sponheim in 1506 he could only take with him a few books as personal property, mainly on history.
