System A′: the Bavarian agents’ reports from Hungary, 1534–35

At a glanceKey from adjacent plaintext · partial (46% of the cipher)

The letters: Reports of the dukes’ agents at Buda in 1534–35 (Jörg Weinmeister, Ofen 8 February 1534; an intelligence report of early 1534; letters of June–July 1534 to the secretary Waisenfelder; a newsletter of April 1534; a letter of 1 April 1535), and King John Zápolya’s Latin letter to the dukes, Buda, 30 June 1534.
Where: Bayerisches Hauptstaatsarchiv, Munich, Kurbayern Äußeres Archiv 4591 ff. 236–247, 252–256, 287; DECODE R9408, R9409, R9410, R9413, R9427, part of catalogue entry 161 (“unknown sender to unknown recipient, 14 ciphertexts”). The images may be published only with the archive’s permission, so none is shown here.
The cipher: A homophonic substitution on invented signs, Greek-looking letters and numerals, written without word division, with code signs for F.G. (Fürstliche Gnaden, in Latin Dominationes) and for King Ferdinand. The hands differ, so the key varies a little from letter to letter.
How it was deciphered: A faint gloss of the time over ten lines of R9427 gave the first key; it was improved on the sibling letter R9407 (deciphered on its own page) and re-learned on each letter by a statistical fit and a decoder that keeps whole period words; every line was then deciphered by hand.
What they say: King John’s diplomacy with Bavaria, the Turk, the Pressburg diet, Katzianer, Rincon at Constantinople, mining in Hungary. King John writes on 30 June 1534 that he has only a truce with his adversary: nos cum adversario nostro pacem non habere sed … inducias.
Still open: 695 words of the six letters, legible signs whose values the letters do not settle; no letter reaches 95%. R9409, R9427 and both letters on R9410 have holes in most sentences and are decoded, not read.

Until 15 October 2026 this page covered all fourteen ciphertexts of catalogue entry 161, which are letters in at least six ciphers. The others now have their own pages: Łaski’s cipher (R9322, R9323, R9417, with R9403), the Fulda note of 1576 (R9325), a son’s letter of 1535 (R9367), R9416 (a servant’s letter and the Pressburg report), R9424 (1583, not solved) and R9319 (1583 grilles, blocked). R9291 is a key fragment, not a letter. Jörg Weinmeister’s letter of 1533 (R9407), in the same system, has its own page; its improved key was carried back here.

01 The five records

R9410	246–247	King John Zápolya to the dukes, Latin, Buda, 30 June 1534	same, re-learned on Latin	88.9%
R9413	252–256	three letters, June–July 1534 (Rincon, Constantinople)	R9407 key, re-learned	94.3%
R9427	287	newsletter of 15–24 April 1534, postscript 25 April	its own gloss, then the R9407 key	84.3%

02 System A′: the five letters of 1534–35

R9408, R9409, R9410, R9413 and R9427 share one sign family, which is also that of Jörg Weinmeister’s letter of 1533 (R9407, written up separately). R9427 has a faint gloss over ten lines. Aligned symbol by symbol, it showed that the commonest group w3vX is “ewr F.G.” (X, an hourglass, is a code symbol for Fürstliche Gnaden) and gave the first homophonic key: 4 and ω e, □ and 8 n (“48” = -en), ↓ r, ÿ t, 5 a, π b/w, the slanted ‡ g, the upright H u/v, and so on. With that key the five letters gave German in stretches, with many local errors.

The key carried back from R9407 (2 October 2026). The key was then improved on R9407, a letter of the same system deciphered to 96.7% of its words. That improved key was carried back to the five letters by the shapes of the signs and re-learned on each letter: a statistical fit of the symbol values against a model of sixteenth-century German, seeded with the R9407 values, then a decoder that keeps whole period words (Deutsches Textarchiv word list) and re-estimates the key from its own output. The hands differ, so each letter keeps its own variant: E is d and ch everywhere, π b/w, 5 a and often e; in R9408 “my” is m; in R9413 the symbol k is the word ich; in R9427 a lone R is und. Look-alike signs were checked at the images: in R9408 the transcribed y is two signs (dotted ÿ t, undotted γ r) and 4 is two (closed 4 e, open ч i); in R9409 one symbol takes da, ch and f. Separating them confirmed the values the decipherments had already given, without opening further words. Every line of the five letters was then deciphered by hand from the machine output and the values each symbol can take.

Letter	Signs	Words with sense	Strict measure
R9408	7,068	1,408 of 1,531 = 92.0%	0.814
R9409	10,930	2,077 of 2,381 = 87.2%	0.721
R9410 f. 244r	1,329	261 of 303 = 86.1%	0.729
R9410 ff. 246–247 (Latin)	2,342	375 of 422 = 88.9%	—
R9413	7,295	1,553 of 1,647 = 94.3%	0.799
R9427	2,640	458 of 543 = 84.3%	0.638
all six		6,132 of 6,827 = 89.8%

Reading audit, 22–23 October 2026. The percentages count words given a reading. Read as sentences, R9408 and R9413 hold, with their holes in a few passages; measured on the words of the readings (24 October), they build coherent sentences but reach 89.7% and 91.2%, under the 95% bar. R9409 (19% of words unread) and R9427 (23%) have holes in most sentences and are decoded, not read; a re-read on 23 October (every DECODE file opened, R9427’s gloss re-checked on enhanced crops) added only the salutation. Scored again on 23 October with the hole notation fixed, the two R9410 letters (f. 244r and the Latin letter) have holes in most sentences too (about 18% of words unread in each) and are now decoded, not read. Words in letters that read: 3,178 of 6,827 (46.5%).

“Words with sense” counts the words of each decipherment that are not marked unread. The strict measure aligns each decipherment to its symbols and counts a word only if every symbol under it takes a value that symbol takes at least 5% of the time in the letter. By the same lexical measure the old decrypts segmented into period words at 0.55–0.69, the re-learned ones at 0.84–0.88. A further re-key from the hand decipherments did not improve on them. The figures are those of 5 October 2026, after every line holding an unread word was re-transcribed at the image and read again under fixed rules (a real word, fitting the sense, every symbol value attested elsewhere, other occurrences agreeing); the strict measure is that of 2 October. The rounds added names: Ferenc and Imre Bebek (R9413, R9427), Debreczen and Késmárk (R9427), the janissaries and Transylvania (R9408), Schongau (R9409). The K word symbol is King Ferdinand by context (grade B): it sends Hieronymus of Zara and his son Vespasian to the Turk (R9408), the Hungarian lords “who hold with [K]” meet at Pressburg (R9413), and the Württemberg war is “against [K]” (R9413, R9427). No letter reaches the 95% bar.

R9408: Jörg Weinmeister, Ofen, 8 February 1534

Signed “… Weinmaister” in cipher, like R9407. Back from his mission, he has handed over a ratschlag, put into Latin. The instruction, he says, was written without knowledge of the Turk, who pays foreign soldiers in cash and thinks himself her[r] der welt. There are sums of 100,000 and twelve times 100,000 gulden. On mining he names Friedrich Schmaltz and his brother-in-law Reinhart, miners to be sent from Schwaz and a silver purchase through Nuremberg. He reports Ferdinand’s peace with the Turk, Hieronymus [Zara] and his son Vespasian sent back to the Turk, Katzianer two months before Kaschau (Košice), and Emericus, provost of Stuhlweissenburg and bishop-elect of Neutra, who married and was imprisoned. He also reports bad half-batzen bearing the dukes’ stamp: er habe dise halbbatzen mit eur F.G. gepreck. Image P1 is a separate news page: Emperor Sigmund’s 6,000 men, Constantinople and Syria.

R9409: an intelligence report of early 1534 (decoded, not read)

The longest of the five, with clear phrases. The dukes and the Roman king are to agree on the confederation. A Turkish embassy has come, and the Sultan is to come to Constantinople. The royal commissioners at Pressburg and Vienna achieved nothing. Katzianer’s troops and Rascians are on the Transylvanian border, Majláth is forcing Hermannstadt (in der Hermanstat … Meilat), and there is dearth in Transylvania. Then the voivode’s practices, a truce in the Zips, Poland against Muscovy, seven burghers of Késmárk held for ransom, and the advice of the French and English kings to make war. Numbered articles follow on a mining concession: Antoni Slesinger, Schmaltz as mining captain, Freiberger, the gold-exchangers and silver-buyers, and the export of gold and silver refused. A postscript begins Auf den Reichstag and closes Datum ut in literis.

R9410 f. 244r: “des ersten aprilis Anno 35” (decoded, not read)

A treaty is in hand; the King of France has also gehandelt nit so vil als vor, done less than before. Someone will accept no treaty unless the dukes are included, kain vertrag annemen allein eur F.G. sollen … in vertrag eingeschlossen sein. The parties are to hold together bruederlich against the Turks, and the sender commends himself to the dukes als seinen lieben herren und bruedern. The writer closes in aller gehorsamen underthenigkait, dated the first of April [15]35.

R9413: an agent to the dukes, June and July 1534

Three letters (July, 7 June, and “8 Julij”), addressed to the dukes’ secretary Waisenfelder. The dukes’ letters were received with joy; there is no reliable news of the Turk. Cornelius was delayed because der kunigs von franckreich orator antonius rincon had come to Constantinople. Then Katzianer’s riders and Transylvania, the bishop of Wardein before Margrave Georg’s castle of Hunyad, the Württemberg war and the Landgrave. An ore sample found near Ofen assays at 2½ marks of silver. The Turk is at sea with about 200 galleys, and the Hungarian lords meet at Pressburg. Herr Caspar is to be dispatched, and Antoni kept at the dukes’ cost.

R9427: a newsletter of April 1534 (decoded, not read)

Dated 15, 21 and 24 April [15]34, with a postscript of 25 April. It opens durchleuchtig hochgeborn fursten gnedig …, as the contemporary gloss over the first lines has it. Its subject is the Württemberg affair (the Bund, that is the Swabian League, the dukes of Württemberg, the Landgrave, “kain vertrag”), with Ferdinand, Christendom and Hungary. A provost and priest alhie has taken a wife and been imprisoned. The dukes’ letter came durch Stehan on 23 April.

03 The Latin letter of King John, Buda, 30 June 1534 (R9410 ff. 246–247; decoded, not read)

The record R9410 holds a second letter on ff. 246–247 (images P3, P4 and P6; P5 repeats P4). It was transcribed by hand on 2 October 2026, 65 lines and 2,342 signs. A contemporary gloss over its first line (accepimus literas vestras) and the clear phrases show that it is in Latin. The German key of f. 244r, re-learned against a Latin model, gave Latin at once. Here the sign that is und in German is et (and in before q), and the hourglass follows Vestre and Vestrarum as F.G. does in German: it is the code for Dominationes. The letter is decoded, not read: about 18% of its words are unread and most sentences have a hole (23 October 2026). The passage below holds; it is given line by line as in r9410/reading_p3p6.txt, with clear words in square brackets, [X] the hourglass code and {?} an unread word:

[In quantu] [autem] vestre [X] certiores fieri cupiunt de st atu rerum nostrarum sciant nos cum adversario nostro pacem non habere sed {?} inducias quas cum nos sancte et invio[l]abiliter servaremus et servare parati essemus parte ex alia tam ip se quam ad eum pertinentes non cess[a]runt ne que cessant inducias huiusmodi multis mo dis infringere

(“As for Your Lordships’ wish to know the state of our affairs, know that we have no peace with our adversary but … a truce, which, though we kept it holy and inviolate and were ready to keep it, he and those who belong to him did not cease and do not cease to break in many ways.”) The letter thanks the dukes for their letters and for passing on news of the Landgrave and of the Duke of Württemberg, and says the king had written that he would send his own envoy. It thanks God for preclaram victoriam, a famous victory which it believes good for all Christendom. It speaks of the adversary’s people writing to the dukes tam impudenter pro libito, and of a man back at Constantinople, from whom letters dated at Constantinople came that very day. It closes by offering omnem amiciciam et fraternitatem nostram: Datum Bude ultima Iunii, Anno (15)34. The royal “we”, the “adversary” with whom there is only a truce, and Buda as the place make it a letter of King John Zápolya to the Dukes of Bavaria. The letter does not say which victory it means. 375 of its 422 words have a sense (88.9%).

04 What stays open

System A′: 695 of the 6,827 words of the six letters are not deciphered (5 October 2026). R9408, 123 words (parts of the news page P1, the greeting, the clauses of the ratschlag, the signature’s forename); R9409, 304 (the salutation and date, about half of P7, names); R9410 f. 244r, 42 (lines 3–5, a two-sign group, the place in the date line); the Latin letter, 47 (the opening, two clauses, two name groups at P4.12 and P4.20); R9413, 94 (the opening of P1, the description of the ore, a sign group on P5, the address); R9427, 85 (line ends, names on P2, the signature). The signs are legible; their values are not settled by the letters. All are open code or value questions (grade I or open), not missing material.
The K word sign is no longer open: King Ferdinand by context (grade B), though no key in the volume gives it.
Grades: the System A′ passages quoted above are C (key and context agree); the identification of the Latin letter’s sender as King John is inferred from its content (I), as is “Hieronymus [Zara]” in R9408.

R9408, ff. 236-239, Ofen 8 Feb 1534 read in part

Jörg Weinmeister (signed in cipher) to the Dukes of Bavaria from Ofen, 8 Feb 1534, with Latin clear passages: his mission, the Turk's power and money, mining (Schmaltz, Reinhart), Katzianer before Kaschau, the priest-bishop Emericus and bad coin with the dukes' stamp; a separate news page on Emperor Sigmund, Constantinople and Syria.

Builds coherent sentences, but under the read bar of 95% of words read as sense (90% here); the holes are marked in the reading.

# R9408 reading, draft 1 (BayHStA Kurbayern Aeusseres Archiv 4591 ff. 236-239; System A', Anno 1534).
# Text only, from sysA2/r9408.tok and the machine decrypt r9408_g_dec.txt; no images re-checked.
# Draft 2 (3 Oct): {?} spans re-read against the v4 re-transcription (sysA2/r9408m.tok); lines whose signs changed re-checked.
# One line per manuscript line, keys as in r9408.tok. Early New High German spelling as the signs give it;
# u/v and i/j as sense needs; lowercase except names and sentence starts.
# A word split over a line end is written as its two fragments on the two lines.
# [F.G.] = the |F| code sign (fuerstliche Gnaden); [K] = the |K| word sign (meaning open: Kunig/Ferdinand?).
# [k] in P1 = a sign transcribed |F| that reads k there (turcken [k]riegsvolck, [k]aiser, ainig[k]ait);
#   the other |F| signs on P1 are kept as [F.G.].
# [Latin ...] = clear text of the writer, copied from the .tok file.
# x[y]z = a letter supplied: either the sign under it is unread (the tok's ¿) or a writer/transcription slip.
# {?} = one word not read (the signs do not give a word under values the letter uses elsewhere).
# Key values used beyond r9408_g_key.json (see the report): my = m (also 'it' in mymy = mit); R = und (as ʀ);
#   Q = l/ll and a (aller, wollen, sollen, allein; alhie, iar, zwai); b = l and n beside h (handlung, gold,
#   Nuernberg); d = r in her/heren; lone a# = null mark (often after a clear passage); a lone β (not inside a
#   word) = null; β = sch; nn = one letter (w or b).
# P2-P7 run on (P2.01 opens "Genedig fursten", P7.03 dates Ofen, octava februarii [15]34, P7.05 signs
#   "... Weinmaister"); P1 is a separate news page (kaiser Sigmund, the Turk, the Soldan, Siria, the Ungern).

# R9408 (BayHStA KAA 4591, System A'): Jörg Weinmeister to the Dukes of Bavaria, Ofen, 8 Feb 1534: English translation

Translation (Claude Opus 5.5, 23 Oct 2026) of `r9408/R9408_reading.md`, the running text of the hand reading of the
cipher (Early New High German, with Latin clear passages in «»). Same holes: `[?]` a word not read, `[?word]` a word
partly carried, `[x]` letters supplied. `[F.G.]` is the code sign for "Fürstliche Gnaden", rendered "Your [Princely
Graces]"; `[K]` is a code sign, probably King Ferdinand, kept. The German is broken in places where the reading has
holes; there the English follows the words as far as they carry and does not supply the syntax. Words split over a
line end in the reading are joined here.

## Translation

[to] report to the Germans what a war [?] experienced [?] happens [?] [?] [?] here [?] [?] [?] in [?] against comfort,
what has hitherto happened from the Germans [?] by the Turk, and that all the world knows [?] [?] it is not hidden that
he [?] because [?] [?] seen [?] [?] some [?] [?] Turks' [s]oldiery «as ten and twenty yea[rs]» [?] [?] [?] have beaten,
which has brought little use, as Your [Princely Graces] may consider for yourselves [?], and still both unwillingly a
long memory. [Your Princely Graces] [know] what Emperor Sigismund, who ruled the whole of Hungary and laid it waste,
and was besides King of Bohemia and Roman Emperor, and who led over six thousand men from Germany alone [?] together
with the Hungarians, who in sum were over a hundred thousand, at the time when the Turk had not yet Constantinople
[?], nor all Syria, not to speak of the Sultan of Cairo, other kingdoms and lands with [?], yet Emperor Sigismund lost
three battles one after another; for that reason the Hungarians think little of German help. [?] [?] the [?] soldiers
rejoice again at the victory over the Turks; so [?] or [Princely Graces] also with [?] do not know that [?] Hungarians
[?] [?] [?] hundred men know how many of those Turks there were, who [?] [?] shall [?] [?] little better than gypsies,
of whom [?] Hungarians [?] [?] have slain about two and a half thousand. [?] I show Your [Princely Graces] why one
should not rejoice over the victory, but [rather] that the Turk too knows what unity there is among you all, kings and
princes, and that there is no provision in all of Your [Princely Graces] and gracious princes [?] [?] [?] [?] [?] [?]
[?].

[I have] arrived here again happily and, according to Your [Princely Graces]' command, a [?] [?], afterwards delivered
one of them; besides that, a counsel drawn up for Jorg Weinmaister, at which [there was] wholly agreeable pleasure
[?]; which counsel [?] [?] laid before Master [?], my wise [one], and diligently related, drawn into Latin, and at
[his] request a copy given through my counsel. But I cannot wonder enough who [gave] Your [Princely Graces] this
far-reaching counsel of peace [?]; he truly has little knowledge of the experience of the Turks, for the following
reasons [?]. If the instruction had been drawn up on [?], I would have [?] better report to give Your [Princely
Graces], which at this time [are] withheld, than this counsel to both privy councillors a little [?] [?] has. First,
for the reason that no greater, more high-minded man lives than the Turk [?]: a hundred thousand gulden spent so that
foreign soldiers should help him; he [?] afterwards a campaign as he has done before, for he thinks himself a lord of
the world. «Secondly», he maintains [?] all his soldiery with ready money, for he gives them no castles or villages,
but keeps them for daily war with ready money; besides, they, the Janissaries, who have to elect an emperor, have a
special [?] in [?] always with their emperor, to make war [?], to rest; and this, believe Your [Princely Graces]
certainly, that with twelve times a hundred thousand gulden he [can] [?] [?] [?] [?] live, the [?] land [?] [?] [?]
that Your [Princely Graces], who among others has the great skill, who in peace prepares himself for war, and [?]
comes to the need; before the soldiery in the Empire is up, the Turk has done his business; one sees that from what
he has won in eighty years. Therefore this [?] counsel, in my opinion, would well [?] have been [kept] until the day
when the confederation had been spoken of. In conclusion, Your [Princely Graces] should believe that in a year and a
half [?] he has sent into Turkey jewels, salt and ready money over two hundred and fifty thousand gulden; for the
Turks' opinion [is] [?] not to spend money but to take it in. [?] I would have more [?] to show Your [Princely Graces],
as far as it is fitting to write. «Johann?»

As Your [Princely Graces] write to me that Your [Princely Graces] are awaiting the assayer, him [we] send Your
[Princely Graces] herewith [?]; through him Your [Princely Graces] may inform yourselves what mine-works [there are] in
Transylvania [?], the working of them very much to be recovered, when Your [Princely Graces] will see the assays; as
Your [Princely Graces] will have understood from the letters, with which assayer Friedrich Schmaltz of Bozen sends his
brother-in-law Reinhart, with Your [Princely Graces]' gracious help, to engage at his own cost good smelters and men
skilled in mining for the mine; whom he has allowed to work, and freed for some years, and has also appointed as chief
over their pits. Therefore my obedient request to Your [Princely Graces]: Your [Princely Graces] will be so gracious
to the said Reinhart and arrange with Friedrich [?] [?] that he, Reinhart, may obtain from Schwaz or other places
[?] experienced persons skilled in mining. It also seems good to me that Your [Princely Graces] [should] send one or
two experienced, practised, understanding men in mining at Your [Princely Graces]' cost and with [him], and, after the
experience and sure indication, Your [Princely Graces] might then well prepare yourselves for it; and if Your
[Princely Graces] also wanted to work [mines] [?], then [?] peace, for now peace send, that Your [Princely Graces] may
[do], unless [you] wanted [to hold] such for Schmaltz henceforth, right, and for it, if God gives peace, that Your
[Princely Graces] may come to a great [?]. «But there is another thing which in my judgement seems to me [?] to be
reported, [?] whence». This [I have] dealt with the aforesaid Schmaltz myself, on Your [Princely Graces]' behalf,
concerning the purchase of silver and gold, that he, Friedrich Schmaltz, if it pleases the [?] [Princely Graces],
all the gold and silver so delivered, that he has undertaken at his own cost to risk and send to Your [Princely
Graces] or your factor at Nuremberg; I would hold it in the purchase with Your [Princely Graces] in such measure that
Your [Princely Graces] should have a gracious pleasure in it together with a reasonable profit. Your [Princely
Graces] should therefore have it found out what the [?] mark now holds, since he would then set the purchase by it.
If Your [Princely Graces] decide on something, give me to understand it, and I will, together with those whom Your
[Princely Graces] would send, finally conclude with Schmaltz and make Your [Princely Graces] [Princely Graces] [?] a
proper matter; and those whom Your [Princely Graces] would send to inspect the mine-works [?] could come in with
Schmaltz's brother-in-law [?] safely.

«But as to the arrival(?)» [?] [?] to which [he] referred, Your [Princely Graces] are to know, we are waiting for it
in [?]; soon he writes, as I have seen the letters, Jeorg Weinmaister, that nothing else than peace [is] to be
recovered [?]; evil dealing, better [?], by the [K]'s party and against the truce, has complained of to the [?];
whereupon the Turk wrote back [that] [K] had [?] yet bound himself to keep the truce entered into with him, that he
may neither use nor undertake further war or unpeace; but if such happened, he would not abandon his own, while [?]
[?] may lift. «Beyond this he also writes» [?] [?] how [K] sent Jeronime of Zara's son Vespasian back to the Turk, who
then met the Chancellor on the way out of Turkey with confirmed letters, in which he confirmed all the dealing done
and concluded by his envoys kept with the Turk, and promised to hold them fast on his honour and faith, with [?] [?]
Herr Peter; the Turk promises to send the course himself into Christendom for the setting up of the peace, which they
are expecting every day. «Moreover, what in the meantime» the Katzianer has done hitherto in the German Kaschau is
this: he lay there two months and the Siebenbürgers and the men of Hermannstadt, also some of the Szekler nobility,
with [?], so then comforted [and] held out, that the men of Hermannstadt would not consent to anything at all of the
provost of Saint Sigmund's promises and negotiation as the envoy to them, nor regarding the surrender, but dismissed
him with this answer: if Katzianer did not come to them with help, then they would surrender. Now [?] knowingly that
Katzianer has withdrawn and has [?] power to send them any help, and it is also impossible for him; and from that the
men of Hermannstadt will well judge that they [?] now as before are always led astray with words only. «But that
they have resisted so long, the cause is» [?] [?] among the notable burghers, to whom [K] himself has assigned yearly
pensions; these hold the commons to their great future harm. So then [?] [?] Katzianer has done nothing else at
Kaschau and other places of the [K] than that he taxed the poor people, and [K] owed him a great sum, so that he could
not pay himself otherwise than in this way, and withdrew with the boast, and even if the peace were set up,
nevertheless the mountains [would] [?] [?] remain with [K]. «I have also thought another thing must be added» [?]: that
here a [?] councillor, and in great favour, Herr Emericus Bebeck, provost of S[tuhl]weissenburg and incoming bishop of
Neutra, has married a poor maiden regardless of his priestly estate, thereby forfeited favour and come into prison;
great negotiation is going on for him to be freed again; it will not happen otherwise than that he be robbed of all
his benefices and give great surety. And Your [Princely Graces] should know that he, Bebeck, is the one who has struck
such bad coin here in Hungary, and it is to be feared he has also struck these half-batzen with Your [Princely
Graces]' stamp, which however cannot stand any other assay at all; Your [Princely Graces] [should] take heed of it
[?]; the [?] [?] has shown it very much. So much have I and Jorg had to report to Your [Princely Graces] as our
gracious lords at this time, in all obedient submissiveness; [we] humbly beg [?] that Your [Princely Graces] keep us in
gracious favour [?], and let my wife and children be graciously commended to you. Given at Ofen, on the octave of
February, «in the year (15)34» [?] Weinmaister.

R9410, ff. 246-247, Buda 30 June 1534 (Latin) decoded, not read

A second letter in Latin, evidently King John (Zápolya) to the Dukes of Bavaria, Buda 30 June 1534: thanks for their letters and for the Landgrave's and the Duke of Württemberg's news; he has a truce, not peace, with his adversary, which the other side breaks; an envoy is back at Constantinople; he offers friendship and brotherhood.

reading_p3p6.txt

# R9410 ff.246-247 (images P3, P4, P6): the second letter, in LATIN, read 2 Oct 2026 in the main session from
# sysA2/r9410b_g_dec.txt (key re-learned from the R9410 German key on the Latin model) and the signs (sysA2/r9410b.tok).
# Keys Pn.NN = lines of transcription_p3p6.txt. Spelling as deciphered (e for ae, c for t before i).
# [X] = the hourglass code sign (as F.G. in the German letters; here after "Vestre/Vestrarum": Dominationes);
# x[y]z = letter supplied or emended; {?} = word not read; [..] other = the writer's clear Latin, copied.
# P3.01: the gloss "accepimus" stands over the whole group bOa#pE+nwAmɱ3x (b O a# = acc), so no separate word there.
# Round 2 (3 Oct 2026): fill.py candidates (sign-constrained, Latin lexicon) checked by hand; Alm = "xi" (maximas, duximus,
# intelleximus); z (∝ with o-) = "sp" in re[sp]onderimus and [r]esp|ons[i]o; nn = "ob"; a# (with the sign after it, a#e / a#O) is a sentence or clear-text boundary mark, not a word:
# it stands after "salutarem", before "[In quantum]", after "[Certo autem sciant]" and "[Nunc tamen ab ipso]" (as a null in R9408).
# Sign values settled in the reading: S = v (Vestre), W = q (W3 = qu), A = p and x (maximas, vexati), I = l (ilustrissimum),
# $ = h, a = p, F = n, N = c, l = i/l, O = e; the 4o sign (Ro) = "et" alone, "in" before q (in potestatem, in optimo).

R9413, ff. 252-256, June-July 1534 read in part

Letters of a Bavarian agent to the dukes, 7 June and July 1534, addressed to secretary Waisenfelder: Cornelius, the French orator Antonius Rincon at Constantinople, Katzianer, the bishop of Wardein before Hunyad, the Württemberg war, an ore sample from near Ofen, the Turk's fleet and the Pressburg diet.

Builds coherent sentences, but under the read bar of 95% of words read as sense (91% here); the holes are marked in the reading.

Transcription

transcription_v4.txt

# v4 (3 Oct 2026): second, close-zoom image pass over the 67 lines still holding unread words (retranscribe_v4.txt).
# v3 (3 Oct 2026): the 99 lines with unread words re-transcribed at the image (retranscribe_v3.txt): y = dotted ÿ, g = undotted γ, M = m+γ, u = open ч, c+ = open-hook sch sign, 4#o = the "auch" ligature; other lines keep v2 codes.
# v2 (split pass, see split.md): all pages P1-P8 checked on the image.
# v2 new codes: U = upright H (split from #, = R9410 U, u/v); $ = big looped S/l word sign (split from d, = R9410 K; K is already taken here by the crossed-L sign).
# R9413 (BayHStA KAA 4591 f.252-256) transcription; codes as sysA/signs_r9410.md
# one char per sign; ? = doubtful sign; [..] = clear text; g: = interlinear gloss
# new codes (not in R9410): % = small o with trailing dash stroke (σ-/o-); l = ℓ small loop sign (after A); Z = ƶ (z/2 with crossbar, frequent here); T = tall plain up-arrow ↑ (t = ϯ/ƒ cross form, "t3"); M = ɱ-like sign, almost always before j (ʒ); & = small raised "ag"-like ligature (ɑɣ), usually after "ij"(y); | = vertical stroke with dot (separator); {..} = struck-through signs; K = ⱡ (L-like with crossbar); r = ɤ (hooked r-like, nearly always "ro", = R9410 ρ); ± = underlined + (as in "5±"); - = dash/hyphen stroke in text; ^ = Λ (lambda, distinct from A ∝); W = monogram of two linked square hooks (⊑⊡), heads the postscript; V = ∇ inverted triangle; ρ = rho (written out as ρ); P = ϖ (omega with overbar); * = ★ filled star-like sign; ! = b-like stem with Δ top and crossbar (P5 opening sign); k = d with a box (⊐) on the stem; @ on P5 l.21 = large looped ʘ-like ligature (doubtful); W also used for the paired-box monogram mid-text (P5 l.28); A4o/Ao = "A" with "o" (P6); * on P6 l.6 = asterisk-like ✱ sign; τ = T-like hooked sign (P6 l.13, maybe T)
# first-line d/b looped initials coded as seen; faint glosses on P1 hard to read, given where legible

# One line per manuscript line, same keys and order as r9413.tok. Early New High German spelling as deciphered;
# u/v and i/j normalised for sense; lowercase except names and sentence starts.
# Conventions: [F.G.] = the F.G. code sign (fürstliche Gnaden), "eur"/"eurn" before it as the signs give;
# [K] = the |K| word sign (meaning open); [Vlterius] etc. = the writer's clear text, copied from the .tok;
# [x] inside a word = one letter supplied or emended (cipher slip, unread sign, or a sign whose value is not
# otherwise attested); {?} = one word not read; a word split over a line end is given as its two fragments.
# Recurring sign groups taken as one letter: Mj = m (unserm, muessen); ro / co = h (alher, gehalten, haben);
# J+ = sch (geschlagen, schickt, bischof, schlos).
# Values forced by context beyond the key file: k = "ich" (a word sign: ich hab, wais ich, wil ich); d = r in
# heren/her (die ungerischen heren, her Caspar, P8 address); Z = e (komen, schreiben, lender, mueste); d = h in P5.30-31
# (gehorsamer). A lone beta after a word (irer, sich, die) is left unread and not written (null or mark?).
# P5.15 and P5.33/P6.18/P7.08 carry transcriber notes in the .tok (underlining, monogram); they are not read.
# Check: python ../sysA2/measure2.py ../sysA2/r9413.tok reading.txt
# Round 2 (3 Oct 2026, fill_r9413.txt pass): the group 4o is read as the word sign "auch" (= 4#o on R9410) where it
#   stands alone and the sense needs it (P1.05-P1.18, P1.23, P2.05, P5.15-P5.17, P6.08, P7.01; left open at P5.08, P5.10, P7.06);
#   99E = och (P1.07, P1.09); nwo4cJ48 / nwocJ / nwoZcJ = Bebecken / Beb[e]ck / Bebick and Dv5qct(w8) = Francz(en) (Ferenc
#   Bebek; Emerico Bebick P3.25); 7 = w in wil (P6.07, P6.14); b = l in lassen, wil ich, alwegs; 4 = z in angezaigt.
# Round 3 (3 Oct 2026, on the v3 re-transcription, sysA2/fill_r9413.txt): f (δ with crossed ascender) = r (heren P8.01,
#   P6.16; her P6.01); lone a+ (β) dropped as the null word mark where the sense is complete (P1.02, P1.03, P1.37, P6.04;
#   kept {?} at P1.32, P2.06); ! at P1.01 is the opening mark, not written (as P6.01); lone o null at P6.14. New words:
#   un heren / mir sein zwen brief ainer an (P1.01), versi|ch mich ich werde in (P1.12-13), Zangiacen (P1.23, sanjak-beys),
#   Z[i]back (P2.02, the bishop of Wardein), wir deputacions (P2.05), mich iorgen (P2.17), polnischen (P2.19, replaces
#   "sol noch {?}"), Wirtenberg / sorge ... bald enden (P2.28-29), sig nach (P2.35), ire oratores (P3.05), un heren
#   (P3.19), her auch dobei (P4.20), [s]paren (P5.28), schreib[en] (P5.29), hiemit (P5.30), empfa[n]gnem (P6.05),
#   Iohann (P8.01). Values from other readings relied on: o = w, Q = a, Y = ll, S = r, x = u, j = i, 4 = z.
#   Undone as not fitting the signs: "ht eben" (now nit | haben), "diener" P1.20, "ertz" P4.01, "sol noch", "sind" P2.25,
#   "dise gesind" (dis alles), "in velen" (un verer), "unter g|sunde" (Wirtenberg | sorge), "kost und" (kostung).

# R9413 (BayHStA KAA 4591, System A'): reading in running text

Rests on: `r9413/reading.txt` (hand reading, one manuscript line per row, notation in its header). Joined here for the v3
verification (23 Oct 2026), nothing else changed except two notations the scorer misreads: the writer's clear text,
in [brackets] there, is written «...», and {?} (a word not read) is written [?]. Words split over a line end stay as
their two fragments; [F.G.] and [K] are code signs; x[y]z a supplied letter.

# R9413 (BayHStA KAA 4591, System A'): a Bavarian agent to the Dukes of Bavaria, Ofen, June-July 1534: English translation

Translation (Claude Opus 5.5, 23 Oct 2026) of `r9413/R9413_reading.md`, the running text of the hand reading of the
cipher (Early New High German, with clear Latin dates and numbers in «»; `|` marks a break the reading keeps). Same
holes: `[?]` a word not read, `[?word]` a word partly carried, `[x]` letters supplied. `[F.G.]` is the code sign for
"Fürstliche Gnaden", rendered "Your [Princely Graces]"; `[K]` is a code sign, probably King Ferdinand, kept. Where the
German is broken by holes the English follows the words as far as they carry and does not supply the syntax. The
record holds several pieces: the letter of 2 July 1534, a postscript, the letter of 7 June, a personal letter, a note
to the secretary, and a note of 8 July.

## Translation

Gracious princes and lords, two letters have [come] to me, one after the other, indicating through Marx Eckel [?] not
to have, so given the Turks' letters, which we received with great joy and read, since hitherto no right true news
has come from the Turk; also [?] how [?] [?] a master up to five letters have been made out to Your [Princely Graces],
so also to us both, to the same letters, no [?] at all pleased; also to the letters which the assayer Las has
nevertheless brought Your [Princely Graces]; and also on the day [?] they did not arrive. We have also sent Your
[Princely Graces] letters by the messenger and others more, as indicated in our latest writing; accordingly, in this
case so much was needed and has not happened. I expect I shall shortly be [sent] to Your [Princely Graces] and
despatched. [I] beg [?] also that [I] have therefore not come so long, because Cornelius, of the [?] orators, the King
of France's orator Antonius Rincon, had come to Constantinople, well with the dealings of the [?] had to be; but now
it is also certain that on the way out the said Cornelius will also come here, whom we are awaiting every day; what
his commands will be, we will report to Your [Princely Graces] shortly. [?] has with him some [?] with guns in the [?]
not [?] [?] horsemen, besides what he has here, up to [?] on the water, on land and in Transylvania; besides, [he] has
also commanded all the sanjaks on the borders that they should be [?] [?] at his command. We show Your [Princely
Graces] this only so that you [know] the [?] will now be strong enough on that side [?].

«Further», Your [Princely Graces] should know that in the articles of the truce it is specially expressed that no
king shall take any of the other's subjects or receive them to himself, which the [K] has [?] kept, but two, namely
Franz Bebeck, he has taken into the [?]; Bebeck has distributed crosses to his people, and has now been beaten twice
by [?] people, and some of his servants wearing crosses were brought here prisoner; [he] sent back [?] no great number
of people, wanting to find out by it whether Katzianer's horsemen who are with the people will help Bebeck; for as soon
as that shows, the truce will be over and [he will] have the cause to begin the war [?], and may turn his power
against [K], since it will be begun for that reason [?]. Zibak, bishop of Wardein, lies before Margrave Georg's castle
called Hunyad, in hope of taking it soon, since there are few people inside [?].

We will also not hide from Your [Princely Graces] what we have dealt by way of deputation with [?], and, after we had
spoken of their great slowness and their small regard even in this most important matter, [he] let himself be heard
with [?] prayer [?] favour from us. Your [Princely Graces] had written to him [?] last Laetare, a [?] to hold with the
[?], in the confidence of bringing the [?] to Your [Princely Graces] my [?]; afterwards [?] himself and Your [Princely
Graces], as if it were concluded, and [?] to report; of which he comforted himself in the same dealing, and has
desired many times to have knowledge, which however has not happened from Your [Princely Graces]; for which reason
perhaps Your [Princely Graces] are not minded to have longer friendship with him. To which we answered, and had Your
[Princely Graces] report by mouth through me, Jorg, two years ago how [?] Your [Princely Graces] would once [hold] a
diet concerning the alliance and the Polish marriage; he [?] in regard of which Your [Princely Graces] waited, but in
that time none of them happened [?] | in, to, besides, Your [Princely Graces] have before, afterwards, and now for the
second time, let it be sufficiently noticed with what patience and in what quiet [you] might come to the government,
and what Your [Princely Graces] would yet do in the Empire against [K], perhaps think little of it [?], though [he]
never had such an opportunity before nor would have a better one. All this [?] [?] taken in good part, and further let
himself be heard [that] the war in Württemberg [he] fears, and it will soon end, and therefore Your [Princely Graces]
will shortly make a peace with the [K], just as if Your [Princely Graces] had begun the war only on account of
Württemberg. To which we answered him thus [?]: Your [Princely Graces] had lately reported in writing that he has good
opportunity to make war against [K], [if] we or [you] would do something; it follows from that, that he after his
victory would make war on more of the [K]'s lands, and press the [K] to the point that he must accept no treaty or
peace with him, the [?] [?], other than as the Landgrave [?] and [he] himself would want; and [they] need not fear that
he would enter into a treaty against their will; at which [he was] much pleased, and said he would now gladly set up
the alliance with Your [Princely Graces], and therefore [?] shortly send his orators to Your [Princely Graces]; which
we did for this reason, since we well consider that, if Your [Princely Graces] want to make war further with the [K],
the purchase on this side would not be harmful, so that [?] [?] plagued, he would be forced to peace and to Your
[Princely Graces]' desire.

Herewith we send Your [Princely Graces] a piece [?] of ore which has very recently been found a snake-shot's distance
from Ofen, with which one now [?] nevertheless assayer [?], as they have assayed it: a hundredweight holds two and a
half marks of silver, and afterwards the silver «25» | [?] Hungarian gulden in gold [?]. Of war news we have none
except that the Turk on the sea has up to «200(?)» | galleys and more of the ships against the [?]; [he] is to have
«80» | galleys and [200(?)] | ships [?] said, the [?] come. And this we have wished to show Your [Princely Graces] as
our gracious princes and lords, to whom we commend ourselves in obedient submissiveness, out of due duty. Given at
Ofen, the second of July, «in the year etc. 34» |

[?] [Princely Graces] [?] is to be despatched in three days, and to go with Emericus Bebick, who [is] here with [?],
against Franz Bebick his brother, and so himself give counsel how to deal with the matters, and afterwards to go to
the [?], Your [Princely Graces] [etc.] | The [?] is to [leave] tomorrow with him, Cornelius here [?] [?]; [he] is to
have orders, his errand with the Turk, which he can show; [I] do not know for certain, but I will find it out well and
write to Your [Princely Graces] shortly [?]. Thurzó, the [K]'s councillor, has [written] to the commissaries, as he
wrote through his servants, how the Hungarian lords who hold with the [K] held a diet at Pressburg and resolved all
matters in the [K]'s favour; [?] but we have learned otherwise, and namely that they sent some to the [K] with the
request that he should not rely on any help from them against the Germans; they are [?] and resolved to do their
part with their friends [?]; ordered each envoy, and not to wait for an answer within three days. Now Herr Caspar, he
is to be despatched in two days to [him], and with him goes one of the secretaries, with the order that, if Herr
Caspar falls sick or lies down on the way, he is to go on and, by virtue of the instruction, deal with all matters
with Your [Princely Graces] as if he too were there; but therefore, at this hour, Herr Caspar does not know, perhaps
[?] [?] [?] would be given to understand, [I] fear [it will be] hard out of the way [?]. Given the «7th of June, in
the year etc. 34.» |

Most gracious princes and lords, I wrote to Your [Princely Graces] lately concerning Anthoni, who came to me by Your
[Princely Graces]' command; I have kept him hitherto as earnest-money on Your [Princely Graces]' behalf, [?] hoping Your
[Princely Graces] would inform me what I am to do with him; so I have waited so long for the assayer Las, in the
confidence of receiving an instruction from Your [Princely Graces]; now [?], however, the said Las has not yet
arrived, so I am ignorant of what I am to do with him; such [?] stand [?] [?] at Your [Princely Graces]' cost here,
whom I will keep for the [K]'s coming, [and] despatch as soon as he arrives. The two, together with me, [?], as Your
[Princely Graces] can judge for yourselves, must have expenses; so I will ask nothing of Your [Princely Graces] to
[your] dishonour; [it is] also certain that [?] [?] in [?] [?] will give me nothing; so I must also have clothes. My
very humble request therefore to Your [Princely Graces], as my gracious princes and lords: Your [Princely Graces]
deign graciously to provide me with expenses, for which I will give Your [Princely Graces] a good account; for if I
am to go with the [K] to the peace diet, expenses here would be hard to meet. Humbly begging Your [Princely Graces]
not to take this my writing, necessary for Your [Princely Graces]' welfare, in ungrace; may Your [Princely Graces]
arrange with Marx Eckel how money might come to me; I will spare no diligence in my life for Your [Princely Graces]'
humble pleasure. I expect [?] [I] shall be despatched to Your [Princely Graces] [?]; otherwise I know nothing to write
at this time; I commend myself herewith to Your [Princely Graces] as my most gracious lords in obedient
submissiveness. «8. Given in l?nnis(?).» |

[Princely Graces]. Most learned, especially trusted, dear sir and friend: your writing to me concerning the
Württemberg affair I have received and read, and afterwards the [news] indicated, which agrees wholly with the
writing received, for which I give you great thanks, offering to earn it with all possible diligence of mine. I will
also always write to you henceforth, but on condition that you give me an answer in return. I expect also that we
shall soon [?] with [our] own [?], which I must not do strangely; then I will show you everything alone and clearly.
The new news you will learn from my gracious lords' letters. I would have myself commended to you as to my trusted
friend [?]. Our Jorg Weinmaister bids [me] tell you his obedient service, as to his commanding lord. «Given(?) in
l?nnis.» |

[?] Cornelius [?] also came here yesterday with the [?]; what he [?] [?] [?] further, I will report to Your
[Princely Graces] soon. The bearer of these letters, Marx, may [?] come down again, if Your [Princely Graces] need him
[?] [?], as it seems to me [?] [?]. «Given(?) 8 July.» | [Princely Graces]. To Herr Johann Weisenfelder.

# R9427 (BayHStA KAA 4591 f. 287), System A', newsletter to a duke, 15/21/24 April [15]34, postscript 25 April.
# Word-by-word reading, one line per manuscript line; keys Pn.NN = lines of sysA2/r9427.tok.
# Early New High German spelling as the signs give it (the writer's Bavarian w for b is kept: halwen, hawe, aw,
#   wesorgen, wefelchen, begewen); u/v and i/j by sense.
# [F.G.] = the F.G. code sign; [K] = the unread word sign K; other [..] text = the writer's clear text, copied.
# [note: ...] = a transcriber's note that the .tok file carries as letters (P1.31, P2.04, P2.21); not cipher.
# x[y]z = letter supplied or emended; {?} = a word not read.
# P1.01-P1.10 follow the contemporary interlinear gloss (r9427/gloss.txt, aligned_full.tsv) where it is legible.
# P1.02: the |F| after "zeit" is read as the u of zeitung, as the gloss has it (zeit[u]ng), not as F.G.
# Fill pass 3 Oct 2026 (sysA2/fill_r9427.txt + pooled attested values): P1.02 sic[h] uerlaufen (gloss 'lan..en' = lauffen),
#   P1.11 gmainer, P1.23 best vermugen, P2.03 Debr[e]czen, P2.06 Kesmarckt, P2.12 burgschaft, P2.16 summa and others.
# The sign R standing alone is the word "und" (R and the + R + ... pattern: P1.23, P1.29, P1.32, P1.35, P2.13 ...).
# Sign pair nn = w (wir, wie, wegen, wellen, gewesen); nn also stands for b in the writer's w-for-b spellings.
