Cont. of VMs: Books on Czech cryptography

[knoxmix@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Added a few carriage returns. Late last year someone posted he had 
borrowed three good books, including one or more of these, and 
inquired about making copies of same. Found it this morning with 
Google but am not finding it now.

    Hello all,

    I'm from Slovakia in the Middle-Eastern Europe, from town Trnava, 
    aka Slovak Rome, and I am newbie in the Voynich family of fans, and 
    I would to subscribe to the your mailing list and willing to answer 
    the previous asks about Czech cryptology papers and books. 

    My favourite hobbies are cryptology, history of Catholic Church and 
    comsec aka computer and communications security. 

    I found about article Ryba, B.: K tajnemu pismu v listech Husovych, 
    Sbornik historicky 1, 1953, s. 56-52 (there is little bit error in 
    indexing of pages, It should be rightly, pp.46-52) , 
    this information: 
    Jan Hus have been used in his own letters to the friends of heresy an 
    ancient Caesar/Augustus cryptographic system aka simple substitution 
    of vowels by the following letter in the normal ordered alphabet and 
    in the few places, even strenghtened by mirror-reversed letter 
    alphabet e.g. l = j, d = b.

    There are examples in the historic literature of cryptology, 
    from 9-th to 11-th century is knew  as follows: 
    Kbrplxs=Karolus, 
    Thfpfklbctxs=Theofilactus, 
    a Rbkmxndxs=Raimundus. S

    Hello,
    I forgot writing one of the examles of Jan Hus secret writing,
    I corrected that information. Exam is as follows:
    CT: x  z  c  l  f  f
    PT: w  y  c l e f
    Strenghtening of ciphering process was in that the letter 'l' was 'j' 
    in the  script and first letter 'f' was used as mirror-image of that. 
    Excuse me, of course,  my little skills of english grammar and 
    language. Best regards, 

    Jozef aka Joseph.
