Robert Brumbaugh was a respected scholar in ancient philosophy, and best known for his work on Plato. His background in code breaking is completely unknown to me.
His proposed solution is now 40 years old, has not made a great impact, and for me only has a historical "value". It may seem surprising nowadays that D'Imperio is writing rather favourably about it. It even made the cover illustration of her monograph "an elegant enigma". This is undoubtedly due to the fact that, when her book was published, Brumbaugh was alive and well, a respected professor at Yale University, and also publishing a book about the MS.
