Additional Information
Comment from archive: Francia, card Morosino, 1588 e 1589. Letter originale e cifre del card . Gio Francesco Morosini el card. Montalto, dal 25 luglio 1588 al 20 settembre 1589. ff. 10-583 mm. 340x 230 ff. 585 (s.583)It is not possible to automatically decrypt ciphertexts, since decryption is not deterministic. Regular codes can be of various lengths (1, 2, or 3 digits). There will be multiple possible ways of decrypting a certain sequence of digits. Decryption should be done manually by a linguist or historian.
