Archive Proximity

[Mark Knowles]

Pavia is a 3 hour drive from me, so yeah not really nearby, but it’s only a 45 minutes drive from Milan (which I do visit often, at least twice a year). Do you have anything specific you’d like to search in Padua? Which archives are worth looking into in your opinion?

Hello

I have sent you a link by email/private message to my cipher archive.

I try to avoid publishing this link in public forums, although I have shared this with a number of interested researchers.

This should give a clear idea of what early 15th century enciphered letters, cipher keys, cipher ledgers and enciphered manuscripts looked like. This will help you easily identify ciphers when searching in archives.

If you have any questions please ask.

I will post other messages to you here in the "Archival Proximity" thread.

Best Wishes,

Mark Knowles
