In his letter to Marci, he posits the author may have been Roger Bacon. (The earliest such reference to Bacon) If a period expert on the subject didn't recognize it as such, then it's probably safe to infer that it's not Trithemian (or Paracelsian by extension).
I hadn't realized that, thanks for this piece of the puzzle. Yeah I agree this pretty much rules out any proximate connection to Trithemius or Paracelsus.
On a lighter note, I recently happened upon two other occurrences of ooooooooo, in two other places much closer to home. The first is in the VMs, along the edge of the T-and-O map by the upper right corner Rosette. The second is in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. by R.Sale. Coincidence? I think not!
