VMs: John Dee's "Tuba Veneris"...?
Hi everyone,
Just a quick thought: when referring to John Dee's early "Tuba Veneris"
(Warburg MS FBH 510)...
http://www.esotericarchives.com/dee/tubaven.htm
...the page author (presumably Joseph Peterson?) mentions that it may be an
example of Trithemius' "Ars Steganographiae".
The reason I found the Tuba Veneris ("The Trumpet of Venus") interesting
was that if you scroll to the bottom of the abovementioned URL, you'll see
a three-ring magic circle, not entirely dissimilar to VMS' f57v. I've been
looking at a lot of these recently. :-)
Does anyone know why Peteron thinks the Tuba Veneris may contain a code?
And if so, has it been cracked? Or even really assaulted?
Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
