Diede and Reck, Regensburg 1730

At a glanceKey from adjacent plaintext · partial (4% of the cipher)

The letters: Relations and postscripts of Wilhelm von Diede and Reck, Hanoverian envoys at the Imperial Diet in Regensburg, January–March 1730, to Hannover and (London copies) to George II.
Where: Niedersächsisches Landesarchiv, Abt. Hannover: Hann. 9g Nr. 1687 (252 images) and Hann. 92 Nr. 1149/1 (605 images), on Arcinsys under the Public Domain Mark. Leads 1659 and 1658.
The cipher: Groups of 2–4 digits separated by dots, about one group per German letter, 3–6 homophones for frequent letters, and a few word or syllable codes.
How it was read: The key (166 rows) was learned from Relation 16 and its clear postscript written in the chancery in 1730, frozen, and tested on a page with no gloss: dictionary coverage 0.656 against 0.325 for the best of 200 shuffled keys. A first test, on Nr. 1687, failed.
What it says: On the tested page: someone’s “gute und vertrauliche Freundschaft” matters in the Electoral College and the Corpus Evangelicorum, now above all.
Still open: Relations 17, 21 and 25 are not transcribed; the other transcribed runs are decoded but not read word by word; 17 doubtful key rows and a few word codes.
Credit: Brice Dudout (L’Europe chiffrée) transcribed the files, rebuilt and tested the key and read the page, working with Claude Opus 5.5 agents (pull request #390). The leads are Daniel Bourdeau’s.

01 The documents

Hann. 9g Nr. 1687 holds the envoys’ relations from Regensburg of January to March 1730. Its type A cipher stands in Relation 3 (aufn 004), Relation 8 (025–026), the relation of aufn 027–036, Relation 15 (056–057) and Relation 16 (060–065): about 3,600 groups, all transcribed by Brice Dudout. Relations 17, 21 and 25 (aufn 119–123, 142–144, 158–159, roughly 2,400 groups by line count) were not transcribed. Relation 16 is followed by a “P.S. ad Relat: Regensp: 16tam” in clear, in another hand (aufn 065R–068L, about 430 words).

Hann. 92 Nr. 1149/1 holds the London copies (Deutsche Kanzlei) of the same envoys’ relations of 1730–31. All 605 images were surveyed; type A cipher occurs in the P.S. ad Relat. 1 of 2 January 1730 (aufn 0003 glossed, 0004 not), Relation 2 (0006–0008) and the P.S. ad Relat. 14 (0102–0103), about 975 groups. Lead 1659 had placed Nr. 1687 in 1735–37 and in the system of targets/mecklenburg1734; it is dated 1730 and its cipher is a different one.

No image is shown: the Arcinsys scans could not be reached from the session that built this page, and the contributor’s folder carries transcriptions and the key only.

02 The key and its tests

The thirteen cipher segments of Relation 16 were aligned letter by letter with the clear postscript by an EM alignment. The resulting table has 166 rows: 83 sure, 66 probable, 17 doubtful. Examples: e = 63, 227, 293, 416, 1043, 1419; n = 110, 205, 270, 464, 1125; Chur Mayntz = 216.123.53. The key was frozen by SHA-256 before any held-out page was opened.

Measurement 1 failed. On Nr. 1687 aufn 033–036 a single Smith-Waterman alignment of the decode against the gloss of the time gave 0.244 against 0.050 for the best of 200 shuffled keys, under the 0.85 set in advance. The 160 groups form 24 separate runs, and one local alignment counts only the longest common stretch. Run by run, after the fact and without verdict value, the score is 0.738 against 0.412.

Measurement 2 passed. The single re-test allowed: Nr. 1149/1 aufn 0004, a page with no gloss, its first 160 groups transcribed without the key and hashed. The measure was dictionary coverage of the decode, with thresholds (0.60, margin 0.30) calibrated on Nr. 1687 beforehand. Result 0.656 against 0.325 for the best of 200 shuffled keys (mean 0.196), margin 0.331. This measures how much of the decode falls into German words, not character accuracy against a known text; aufn 0004 has none. The script was re-run at integration and gives the same figures.

03 The reading

P.S. ad Relat. 1, Regensburg, 2 January 1730, aufn 0004, groups 1–160. Round brackets complete a letter or abbreviation; square brackets mark groups outside the frozen key restored from context after the measurement.

… dessen gute und ve(r)trau[l]he Freundschaft [e]s wohl im Churfürst(t)l[ich]en Collegio als auch im Evangelische[n] Corpore wie a[l]le Zeit, also vornehml[ich] anietzo von n[ich]t gering[e][r] ist, und es täg[l]h Gelegen(heit) …

… whose good and confidential friendship, in the Electoral College as well as in the Evangelical Body, is, as at all times, so above all at present, of no small [importance], and it daily [gives] occasion …

Of the 160 groups, 106 are deciphered by sure key rows, 39 by probable rows, 12 restored and 3 unresolved: 145 deciphered by the key alone. The decode agrees word for word with the gloss of the time on aufn 0003, which was not used. Groups 161–242 of the page are raw exploration and not claimed.

The same key applied to every transcribed run of Nr. 1687 gives a value to 3,426 of 3,630 groups. On the unglossed lines of Relation 15 (aufn 056) it gives “nechst tagen einen der ministrorum nach mainz absenden umb daselbst unter andern in der mecklenburgischen sache”. These runs are shown below as a raw decode, not a reading.

04 What remains open

Relations 17, 21 and 25 of Nr. 1687 (roughly 2,400 groups) and Nr. 1149/1 aufn 0006–0008, 0102–0103: not transcribed; the images could not be reached from the integrating session.
The transcribed runs of Nr. 1687 other than Relation 16: decoded, not read word by word.
Aufn 0004: three unresolved groups (no. 16, 125 = t in “vetrau”; no. 36, 112 = o where “es” wants s; no. 52, 191 = t doubled in “fürsttl”) and twelve restored groups (15 = e ×2, 272 = l ×3, 841 = ich ×3, 1483 = e, 425 = f, 271 = n, 49 = r).
17 doubtful key rows; word codes 281, 26, 279 of aufn 0003 not in the table. One reader (an agent) per transcription, no human palaeographic check.
Two other systems in the same files, not attacked and not part of this key: a 4-digit system in Nr. 1149/1 aufn 0129–0132 (3 August 1730) and the Copenhagen letters of Schütz in Nr. 1687 (aufn 150–153, 165–166).

# diede1730 - reading of Hann. 92 Nr. 1149/1 aufn 0004, groups 1-160 (the measured portion)

P.S. ad Relat. 1, Regensburg, 2 January 1730, Diede and Reck to George II (London copy, Deutsche Kanzlei). The postscript
begins on aufn 0003, whose five cipher lines carry a full interlinear decipherment of the time; aufn 0004 has none.

## Normalised reading

Our words in round brackets complete an abbreviation or a letter the cipher leaves out; square brackets mark a group outside
the key whose value was supplied from the context after the measurement (restored).

> ... dessen gute und ve(r)trau[l]he Freundschaft [e]s wohl im Churfürst(t)l[ich]en Collegio als auch im Evangelische[n]
> Corpore wie a[l]le Zeit, also vornehml[ich] anietzo von n[ich]t gering[e][r] ist, und es täg[l]h Gelegen(heit) ...

Modern spelling: "... dessen gute und vertrauliche Freundschaft es wohl [sowohl?] im Churfürstlichen Collegio als auch im
Evangelischen Corpore wie alle Zeit, also vornehmlich anjetzo von nicht geringer [Bedeutung?] ist, und es täglich Gelegenheit ..."

The decode agrees word for word with the contemporary gloss on aufn 0003 ("...dessen gute und vertrauliche Freundschafft
es wohl im Churfürstlichen Collegio als..."). That gloss was not used to build the key or in the measurement.

## Daniel's count (160 groups)

| class | groups | detail |
|---|---|---|
| sure | 106 | key row "sure", value fits the reading |
| probable | 39 | key row "probable", value fits the reading |
| restored | 12 | outside the frozen key, value from the context: 15 = e (x2), 272 = l (x3), 841 = ich (x3), 1483 = e, 425 = f, 271 = n, 49 = r |
| unresolved | 3 | key value conflicts with the reading: no. 16 (125 = t in "vetrau"), no. 36 (112 = o where "es" wants s), no. 52 (191 = t doubled in "fürsttl") |

Resolved 157 of 160 groups (98%); read by the key alone (sure + probable) 145 of 160 (91%). So this portion is **read in part**.

Notes on the restorations: 272 stands for "l" in a[l]le but would have to be "lic" in vertrau[lic]he and täg[lic]h, so it may be
a syllable code; 841 = "ich" is a syllable code. At no. 35-36 the division "[s]o wohl" (= sowohl, with 1483 = s) would make
112 = o agree; the count keeps the reading "es wohl" of the period gloss. These are reading notes, not tested values.

## Groups 161-242: not measured

Raw output of the same key on the rest of the page (exploration only, not checked, not counted):
"it giebet daan ?rsonell?gute ?? is?osition dieses sehr capab?en und ?n min?strui[e]l gelegen ist" - perhaps "...(Gelegenhe)it
giebet, dann ... Disposition dieses ... sehr capabel ... und [dem] Ministerio viel gelegen ist". To be read again; we make no claim.

# diede1730 - English rendering, Hann. 92 Nr. 1149/1 aufn 0004, groups 1-160

P.S. ad Relat. 1, Regensburg, 2 January 1730. The passage begins and ends mid-sentence (it continues the postscript of aufn 0003).
Words in square brackets are supplied.

> ... whose good and confidential friendship, in the Electoral College as well as in the Evangelical Body, is, as at all
> times, so above all at present, of no small [importance], and it daily [gives] occasion ...

"Evangelical Body" = the Corpus Evangelicorum, the Protestant estates at the Imperial Diet in Regensburg. Whose friendship is
meant is stated in the part of the postscript before this page (aufn 0003), not translated here.

Hann. 9g Nr. 1687, transcribed type A runs (aufn 004, 025-036, 056-057, 060-065): raw decode with the frozen key decoded, not read

Diede and Reck's ciphered passages in their Regensburg relations of January-March 1730 to Hannover, on the Imperial Diet and the Mecklenburg affair; Relat. 16 has the chancery's clear P.S. of the time, from which the key was learned.

A mechanical decode with holes in most sentences: shown so that the transcription and the key can be checked and improved, not as a reading.

NOTE   no underlining, no gloss over figures. A long closing stroke (Schlussstrich) runs from "humillima" down the empty lower half of the page; it does not cross any figures. R7 grp1 "585" clear. Page begins with a clear phrase: the previous text ends aufn 064 R ("dies[...] ...Noth[?],").

NOTE   IMPORTANT: this clear P.S. is the plain text of the CIPHER passage on aufn 060 L. Compare 060 L: "Man hat nun bis dato den eigentlichen Inhalt des" + 55.1070.1179 / 1393...(R2-R4)...257 + "nicht gewust, sondern nur besage der allerunterthänigsten Relation vom 30. passato so viel vernommen, dass" + 1474.283... So:
       060 L R1-R4 (55 ... 191.257, 37 groups) = "Chur Maintzischen wie auch des Chur Cöllnischen gesandten Projects"
       060 L R5 ff. (1474.283.260 ...) begins "Ihro Churfl. Durchl. zu Mayntz in puncto der Administration bey dem bekandten Commert. einen Anstand hätten, desfalls sofort sowohl denen Churbayrischen als Chur Pfältzischen Ministris eine ausführliche Vorstellung geschehen, auch der Freyherr von Sickingen ersuchet worden, einen ..."
       -> this leaf is either the clear draft or a decipherment of P.S. ad Relat. 16, and gives a long crib for 060 L / 060 R / 061 L. Wording differs slightly ("biss dato" vs "nun bis dato"; "Projects" in clear here is inside the cipher on 060).
