Acrostic Cipher

Abbot Trithemius

Trithemius wrote a wicked book in about 1496: STEGANOGRAPHIA.

He gave methods of hiding texts within texts; some of which are tedious. The Holy Inquisition visited him to ascertain whether he practiced magic. Steganographia circulated in manuscript for over a century and attracted the attention of scholars such as John Dee and Francis Bacon.

Here is an Acrostic-Telestic cipher message written in Cod Latin.
