That's interesting, what makes the Milanese ciphers more advanced? I was under the assumption Arabic ciphers were more advanced in general, but I must admit I probably read that somewhere and just took it on face value.
I would think some advancements were probably just natural, I can imagine someone solving ciphers often and realising they need to hide their vowels better to make their ciphers stronger, but are there examples of more complex ideas popping up in both sets of known ciphers around the same time?
