Has anyone ever "deciphered" a paragraph?

[Mark Knowles]

What I can say is that the previous list is an extract (subset) of the nomenclator part of one diplomatic cipher.

Both are contrary to what we see in the Voynich MS, as I have already said many times.

That should be more useful than just philosophising about it.

I said: "It is perfectly possible for a cipher to decrease entropy."

You said: "It would be of great interest to have a historical example of this."

I provide you with a historical example illustrating how it is perfectly possible for a cipher to decrease entropy.
