Misovsky's MS in Uppsala

["Rafal T. Prinke" <rafalp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have found a longer title of this intriguing manuscript 
_Strues Tritemiana_ (_Trithemian Pie_) by one of the important 
people involved in the early history of VMS. Here it is:

Constructio, sive Strues Tritemiana, cuius hae sunt principaliores 
utilitates. Qui nullum unquam idiomatis Bohemici calluit verbum, 
per eam in momento scribet convenienter Bohemice, quantum volet. 
Per eam potest quis spatio unius horae quam plurimas conficere 
periodos Bohemicas, quae etiam paginam unam atque alteram 
excedant, easdemque, quod caput rei est, intelligere et interpretari. 
Latet in eodem dispositio ad id, ut suo modo loqui possis 
fere, quod velis... Accessoriae vero eiusdem utilitates sunt istae: 
Applicatio ad quodvis idioma. Occultus occulti scribendi modus, 
quem nemo mortalium queat penetrare. Variatio eiusdem pene in 
infinitum. Paradigmata Declinationum, Coniugationum et 
Syntaxeos. Opulenta Sinonymorum congeries. Repetitio Linguae 
Latinae. Eiusdem copia et augmentum. Reduplicata Bohemicorum 
lectio. Frequens et inevitabilis eorundem verborum, quo 
facilius haereant, commemoratio. Ad Bohemicum Characterem 
in scripto legendum assuetudo. Ex his liquet, quam brevi 
tempore, et quantum quis queat tali methodo proficere. 
Sed totum positum est in animo et propensa voluntate.
Raphael Mnisch. Konec: Finij ultima Octobris 1628. 
L. D. B. g. M. S. V.

I found it in the bibliography of Czech history where
the reference for it is:

   V. Flajshans, Knihy ceske v knihovnach sved. a rus. 
   [Bohemian books in Swedish and Russian libraries], 
   p. 52, item 2. (no other details)

The piece that was not in the shorter version of the title
and is especially interesting in VMS context reads:

   Occultus occulti scribendi modus, 
   quem nemo mortalium queat penetrare. 

My (incompetent) translation would be: "The secret way
of secret writing which no mortal can penetrate".

Quite a precise description of VMS :-)

Best regards,
