 Huh?  The one thing I know about cipher is that its history is as
 dark as its roots.  The Knight's Tour cipher was first written
 about in 1140, but this does not mean this was an original
 invention even then.  If one considers themselves an historian to
 any degree, their search for the origins of things should not be
 encumbered by the myopia of earlier researchers.  Our age has a
 vast amount of information at our fingertips, so much that we
 would be the envy of any past historian.

Very good point: i.e. futher study of what I thought was ONLY medieval
era invention, (our CROSSBOW figure) I have run across documentation
going BACK at least as far as 30 BC in China (oh ohhh :-) the China
link again.

D*rn that CrossBOW (smiles)

Best to you & yours
