What we do know is that numerous books on codes, ciphers and steganography were published throughout the 16th and 17th century. For example Gustavus Selenus´ enigmatic book, “Cryptomenytices et Cryptographiae. Libri IX. Steganographia”, published in 1624, one year after Shakespeare’s First Folio was issued.
Still, to this date only a handful of codes have been deciphered and retraced to writings from this time. Isn't it then logical to assume, from a rational point of view, that there still might be a substantial amount of books and documents that contain undiscovered messages, just waiting to be found?
