I have no good proof of this, but I tend to think the creator was quite versed in cryptology of the time. I can't even exclude that the whole manuscript was designed as a crypto puzzle Trithemius-style. And the fact that the Voynich MS hasn't been deciphered yet is not so strange, considering tome 3 of Steganographia was only You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
