I transformed programmatically all the Book of Genesis this way. The result for me is somehow similar to Voynich:

DLXXXI CLIII XXV MCCCXXX MCCCXXV CLI CXII CXXX MCCCVII I CCCXXV CLXXVII XXXVII XXVIIII LXXVIII CCCCLXXXXIII I II DCLVI MLXXXXIII MCCCXXXI CCCXXXV MCCCXXXII XVII CCCXII MCCXXXXVIII L LXXVIII CLXXXVI XVII CCCLI...

I had this idea too, back when I found the peculiar distribution of word lengths:
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

Quote:It is an extreme case of code cipher

Is there a worse name for anything than "code cipher"?*  Is there a cipher that is not in code?

Please, crypto folks, at least call  it "codebook cipher"...

All the best, --stolfi
