Description: This book invites the reader on an adventurous journey into an uncharted realm of cryptology history through the decryption of the Holy Grail of codebreakers, the Voynich manuscript. In search of its author(s), the book also presents the discovery and decryption of some concealed ciphers in Leon Battista Alberti’s Hypnerotomachia Poliphili (also providing explicit evidence of his authorship), Johannes Trithemius’ Steganographia, and John Dee’s Enochian texts. Some of these non-local, polysemic ciphers turned out to be related to each other. Through the shocking decrypted contents, the reader can also get acquainted with the alchemical and black magical pursuits of cryptographer giants Leon Battista Alberti, Johannes Trithemius, and John Dee, who are also identified as the most likely contributors to the Voynich manuscript. Besides, the book offers a solution to a concealed riddle of painter Jan van Eyck, a contemporary of Alberti. This decrypted content appears pivotal in the understanding of the painter’s clandestine pursuits. The presented multidisciplinary studies, along with numerous contemplative photographs, reflect the dualistic, magic-filled world of these Renaissance cryptographer magi. This book can serve as a reference work for amateur and professional cryptologists, scholars, art historians, and can certainly count on the interest of the general public as well.
