I don't think I would agree with King's dedication that Stephen Bax was the first.
He may have been the first to get really huge news coverage, but he didn't solve anything.
Bax's methodology was the same as all the previous (and subsequent) substitution decipherments—logically flawed. He ignored the basic structure of Voynichese.
