How I reconstructed a Spanish cipher from 1591

ABSTRACT The present author identified a cipher used in a letter of Alessandro Farnese, Duke of Parma, dated 25 January 1591. It turned out to be similar to known Spanish ciphers of the time in that it is based on simple substitution (with some homophones) and vowel indicator symbols to form syllables systematically. About the same time, the Duke of Mayenne used a much simpler cipher in writing to the same recipient.
