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.....
