I don't understand it well, either. Jim Reeds has already noted
that it offers a quick way to learn Czech, but also a repetition
of Latin and most interestingly a way of secret writing.

As I said in another message, I do not think Dr. Raphael could
produce VMS - but if he had seen it by 1628, he may have
mentioned it in the "occulti scribendi" section and perhaps
give some details about its provenance ("bearer's" name) etc.

Also, a sample of his handwriting (and foliation) would be
useful.

Best regards,
