If the author's plaintext was bavarian-austrian slang that was shortened, which only could be understood by a select few people (if anyone at all), why go through the extra steps of:
1) changing the plaintext letters to a ciphertext
2) inserting red herring latin markers in only the first lines in order to make it harder to understand
How would another reader (presumably a student, friend, or colleague) read the manuscript? How would they know which words are null words if they are by definition placed at random?
