LJS 423 -  Dos discursos de la cifra

This is where to start to become the next 007 secret agent. This manuscript contains two works on ciphers: the first is the theory, and describes ciphers based on subjects such as arithmetic, non-Roman alphabets (Greek, Hebrew) and writing systems (Egyptian, Chinese, Japanese, the writing of Indians of New Spain), among others. The second is a technical description of 24 different methods of enciphering and deciphering, using numerous tables, volvelles, movable sleeves, and grilles. It was written by a cryptographer in the service of Martin de Cordova, viceroy of Navarre.

A late medieval thing I’ve recently created. Yes. I play pipe and harp now. …. Music and animation by Kiszkiloszki.

All characters, monkeys, butt-man, plants, backgrounds and other elements came from beautiful manuscripts from late Middle Ages (1466-1475). You can find more discarded images on Discarding Images. It just makes sense.
