16th century cipher in MsMurQ 12

[-JKP-]

Thanks Marco!

...

But note how only the most secret portion of the whole recipe is enciphered - that of the main ingredient. I guess that's also the case in VMS f116v. Here we have a ready example.

That's also true of the encoded alchemical manuscript. Not all of it is encoded. Often the ingredients, like sulphur, salt, etc. are encoded.
