Verne, Cryptologist →
In which, we are enthralled by Le Bon Professeur Jules Verne. Via a typically superb post - crafted by Nick Pelling at his Tremendous Cipher Mysteries site; further, by way of a fascinating article in the United States Army Signal Corps Bulletin of April to June 1940 detailing Monsieur Verne's prediliction for both transpositional and Vigenère ciphers. Outstanding.
