Modified MIT licence; publications using it must cite Greshko 2025. Used as the source of the tables and plaintexts for the Naibbe simulation and key search. ## Cited by on this site 9 records [Naibbe cipher tables and example plaintexts (greshko/naibbe-cipher, commit 719f2f4c)](https://mysteriesdept.com/datasets/DAT0DCE1XF9J2MB/naibbe-cipher-tables-and-example-plaintexts-greshko-naibbe) Dataset DAT [A Naibbe key search that recovers planted keys finds no reading of the manuscript](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/voynich-manuscript/evidence/EVD0DC7R8DGCH2E/a-naibbe-key-search-that-recovers-planted-keys-finds-no) Evidence EVD [Keeping one Naibbe table for 10 to 20 draws gives the manuscript's page clustering](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/voynich-manuscript/evidence/EVD0DC8YQ56CYPZ/keeping-one-naibbe-table-for-10-to-20-draws-gives-the) Evidence EVD [Naibbe ciphertext comes close on glyph statistics and word length, best for Currier B](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/voynich-manuscript/evidence/EVD0DC7R7AX3PKB/naibbe-ciphertext-comes-close-on-glyph-statistics-and-word) Evidence EVD [Naibbe with Greshko's own tables also fails as a generating procedure](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/voynich-manuscript/evidence/EVD0DC7RCQHQEN8/naibbe-with-greshkos-own-tables-also-fails-as-a-generating) Evidence EVD [No Naibbe-family variant reaches the edge dependency or near-twins in any section](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/voynich-manuscript/evidence/EVD0DC8YPZGAWSV/no-naibbe-family-variant-reaches-the-edge-dependency-or-near) Evidence EVD [Published Naibbe misses 19 to 20 of 21 statistics for every plaintext](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/voynich-manuscript/evidence/EVD0DC7R7VKE97F/published-naibbe-misses-19-to-20-of-21-statistics-for-every) Evidence EVD [Read through Greshko's segmentation, a working two-letter solver finds no reading](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/voynich-manuscript/evidence/EVD0DC7RD2B8AP5/read-through-greshkos-segmentation-a-working-two-letter) Evidence EVD [The Naibbe cipher: a substitution cipher that encrypts Latin and Italian as Voynich manuscript-like ciphertext](https://mysteriesdept.com/sources/SRC08JHZJJR0Z8T/the-naibbe-cipher-a-substitution-cipher-that-encrypts-latin) Journal article SRC ## Cite it ``` Michael A.
