PS. As for encryption implying that more than one person could read the text, that is not true.  The Rohonc codex is an example of an encrypted book that (for all we know) was meant to be read only by its author.   And that survey of encrypted manuscripts (that was cited recently on this forum) listed several personal diaries, which of course had the same "target readership".

All the best, --jorge
