‎Rare exemplaire de l'ouvrage de Christian Breithaupt (1689-1749) consacré à l'art du déchiffrement des écritures cachées. Parmi les auteurs cités, on relèvera les noms de Jérôme Cardan, Athanase Kircher, Gustavus Selenus (Auguste II de Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel) et John Wallis. Les spécimens d'écriture reproduits dans l'ouvrage sont assez remarquables. C'est à partir de la Renaissance que la cryptographie devient un art véritable, "ars occulte scribendi". Dans sa belle étude sur la "Cryptographie militaire", Auguste Kerckhoffs donne une liste chronologique des ouvrages ayant les premiers traités de principes de déchiffrement : tout d'abord l'ouvrage de Porta "De furtivis litterarum notis", puis "L'Interprétation des Chiffres" tiré de l'italien de Cospi par le Père Nicéron (1641) et enfin les ouvrages de Breithaupt, de Gravezande (Introduction à la philosophie) et de John Davys (An Essay on the art of decyphering), tous trois parus en 1737. Bon exemplaire. Cf Kerckhoffs, "La Cryptographie militaire" in Journal des Sciences Militaires, vol. IX, 1883, pp. 5-38. 968 / 5 000Scarce copy of the work of Christian Breithaupt (1689-1749) devoted to the art of deciphering hidden writings. Among the authors cited, we note the names of Jerome Cardan, Athanasius Kircher, Gustavus Selenus (August II of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel) and John Wallis. The writing specimens reproduced in the work are quite remarkable. It was from the Renaissance onwards that cryptography became a true art, “ars occulte scribendi”. In his beautiful study on "Military Cryptography", Auguste Kerckhoffs gives a chronological list of works having the first treatises on deciphering principles: first of all Porta's work "De furtivis litterarum notis", then "The Interpretation of Ciphers" taken from the Italian of Cospi by Father Niceron (1641) and finally the works of Breithaupt, Gravezande (Introduction to Philosophy) and John Davys (An Essay on the art of decyphering), all three published in 1737. Good copy.‎
