This consists of a list of manuscripts containing cipher, usually only a few
words in an otherwise normal text. It mentions the Fontana cipher MSS
which we discussed about two years ago. It is not illustrated except for
tables of cipher alphabets. Bischoff was an eminent palaeographer and I
doubt if he missed much. There is a detailed summary on my web site:
