Abstract

The story of the Rohonc Code begins a little more than 180 years ago. Discovered in the collection of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences was a mysterious codex. It is 448 pages long, handwritten with 9 to 14 lines of writing per page, and heavily illustrated with nearly 90 handdrawn images (Figure 1). Some pages at the beginning and at the end of the codex were detached, and their order was not known. The codex became part of the collection when the library of theHungarian noblemanGuszt av Batthy any was absorbed into the collection. The discovery of the manuscript created excitement in the academic world, and exploration of the writing and its meaning began. The codex was first examined in the early 1840s by J anos Jerney.

回顾《罗洪克密码:探寻一个历史之谜》，作者:贝内德克Láng

Rohonc密码的故事始于180多年前。在匈牙利科学院的收藏品中发现了一个神秘的密码。它长达448页，手写，每页有9到14行文字，并用近90幅手绘图像进行了大量插图（图1）。法典开头和结尾的一些页面是分离的，它们的顺序未知。当匈牙利贵族Guszt av Batthy-any的图书馆被纳入收藏时，该法典就成为了收藏的一部分。手稿的发现在学术界引起了轰动，对写作及其意义的探索也开始了。该法典于19世纪40年代初由J anos Jerney首次审查。

期刊介绍： Cryptologia is the only scholarly journal in the world dealing with the history, the technology, and the effect of the most important form of intelligence in the world today - communications intelligence. It fosters the study of all aspects of cryptology -- technical as well as historical and cultural. The journal"s articles have broken many new paths in intelligence history. They have told for the first time how a special agency prepared information from codebreaking for President Roosevelt, have described the ciphers of Lewis Carroll, revealed details of Hermann Goering"s wiretapping agency, published memoirs - written for it -- of some World War II American codebreakers, disclosed how American codebreaking affected the structure of the United Nations.
