AFAIK, encryption was used mostly for relatively short documents of substantial diplomatic, military, or commercial importance. Thus I suppose that their scribes took great care to avoid errors that could spoil the decryption.
As for encrypted
books, I don't know if there are any examples that could be compared to the VMS in length and contents. I know about a couple that were written as demonstrations of encryption methods, and the (more recent) Rohonc Codex which may have been encoded to hide thoughts that could have been considered heretical or embarrassing to the Author.
