- The letter
- Jean de Chourses, sieur de Malicorne, governor of Poitou, to Henri III, “A Nyort ce xxie avril 1586”, signed Malycorne: six pages mostly in cipher.
- Where
- Bibliothèque nationale de France, fr. 15572 ff. 162–164 (Gallica views 169–173). Not in DECODE or the catalogue.
- The cipher
- Invented signs and digits, several for each letter, with signs for de, la, le, que, sur, nous, et and for doubled letters, and nulls. Thirteen look-alike signs still carry two values.
- How it was deciphered
- Michael Brackx applied Tomokiyo's key table, corrected it, and checked the decode against the decipherment written in the margin of f. 163r at the time.
- What it says
- The rest “consiste en la creance du porteur et lesdicts articles”; two plots on Lusignan were discovered; Villeluisant's men cut two companies to pieces near Sanxay.
- Still open
- f. 162r, the second stretch of f. 163r and the four later pages give phrases between gaps; no other letter in this key has a decipherment to check them against.
- Credit
- Transcription, corrected key and decode: Michael Brackx (@brackxm) with Claude Code, 22–23 October 2026 (issue #92). Key table: Satoshi Tomokiyo, Cryptiana.
The same volume holds Camus de Pontcarré's letters to Villeroy in another cipher (Camus 1586) and Matignon's and Mayenne's despatches (Mayenne–Forget), each with its own page.
01 The letter
f. 162r has four clear lines and 27 cipher lines; f. 162v 31 cipher lines; f. 163r is clear text with two cipher stretches (A, two lines; B, nine), both deciphered in the margin by a hand of the time; canvas 171 carries two clear letters with cipher blocks of 4 and 16 lines; canvas 172 has 31 and 24 cipher lines, then the clear close and the signature. The address leaf, “Au Roy”, is view 173.
02 f. 163r and its margin
Stretch A reads as one sentence, confirmed word for word by the margin (consiste en la creance du port[eu]r, & les articles); 73% of its words read as sense, the opening group and one word before porteur unread:
[?] consiste en la creance du [?] porteur et [l]esdicts articles.
[?] consists in the credence of the [?] bearer and the said articles.
Stretch B gives phrases between gaps (69%): les deulx entreprises que i'auois sur Lusignan, l'une … tramee aux charbonnieres, … donnant quelque argent … descouuertes, et fault que ie … ce peult aisement establir la charge en ce pais. The margin beside it is mostly illegible between argent and descouvertes.
03 f. 162r, decoded
The decode builds phrases, not sentences (62% of words read as sense, 65 holes): the failed enterprises against Lusignan, “le sieur de Uilleluisant et ceulx que ie … enuoies”, an attack in the bourg of Sanxay a league from Lusignan on two companies, “les taill[e]rent en piesses, prinrent les … capitaines … et l[e]urs enseignes … les amenerent ici”, with no loss but “l'enseigne du capit[a]ine Cossart et trois [?soldats]”. Most holes are letter strings that are not French, which points to look-alike signs still merged under one label rather than to a wrong key.
04 f. 162v and views 171–172, decoded
Brackx then sent aligned decodes and readings of the other four pages, with a legend tying each sign label to its shape. Measured on his readings: f. 162v 63% of words read as sense, view 171 67%, view 172 left 57%, view 172 right 79%. Fewer than 1% of the letters rest on a hand-chosen value. None of these pages has a decipherment in the margin, and sentences build only between holes: on f. 162v, [?Laval] a pris ung tel deplaisir et ennui de ce que ses deulx freres furent tues a Sainctes, et l'en est demeure mallade … et en est mort de samedi dernier; on view 172 right, soldiers with intelligences with the enemy and the companies still to come; on view 171, ladders de [?bois] et de corde to surprise a town on an intelligence.
He also checked the labels that seemed to merge two signs, on tiles cut from the full-size images after straightening each block. The barred £ is always m, but the looped ℒ stands for both b and m. The barred £ for m and n, the f with a bar, the hooked y and the crossed p (h or s) each turn out to be one sign with two values, so none of these can be settled by shape.
05 How it was done
- Key. Tomokiyo's table, corrected: the hooked y is s (14 of 14 tokens; his table's t is probably a slip), the curly y p, the looped ꝺ n, 10 i, ρ p and h, and new word signs for nous and et. Three per-page keys were merged and pruned one value at a time, from 43 to 13 two-valued signs.
- Against the margin. Stretch A 97.6% of the margin's letters matched in order, against 22–27% for shuffled keys; B lines 1–3 83.3%. For B lines 4–14 the first posted figure (72.8%) could not be reproduced; restated on the legible margin words against cipher rows 4–8 it is 79.3%, against 15–24%.
- Departures from the raw decode. Six readings were chosen by hand on two-valued signs (Lusignan, ceulx, ici, Cossart, tramee, ce: 7 letters, under 1% of each page's letters) and three words of f. 163r B are taken from the margin where the decode is a letter or more off (i'auois, charbonnieres, descouuertes).
- Language model. Corrected to Montaigne's Essais I–III after an Italian and a Middle English text were found in the first one: coverage 72.3% (76.5% as first posted), shuffled keys 32.5–47.7%.
06 What remains
- f. 162v and views 171–172: phrases between gaps, 57–79% of words; without a contemporary decipherment of these pages or of another letter in this key, the two-valued signs cannot be settled.
- The £/ℒ check on f. 162r, f. 163 and view 171, where no usable sign positions exist yet.
- f. 162r and f. 163r B: thirteen labels still carry two values; their shapes could not be split at the resolution used.
- f. 163r A: the opening group and the word before porteur.

Malicorne to Henri III from Niort, 21 April 1586: the plots against Lusignan have failed; Villeluisant's raid cut two Protestant companies to pieces near Sanxay and brought their captains and ensigns to Niort.
