Trithemius, Johannes, 1462-1516. Steganographia
Treatise on "secret writing" in three volumes. A decryption key, published in 1606, has shown that the first two volumes are on cryptography and steganography. Many believe that the third volume centers more on magic, but it now appears also to focus on cryptography. From 1609 to 1900 the book appeared on the Index of Prohibited Books of the Catholic Church.
