It’s incredible what you can find hiding in plain sight. Take this example, from the New York Times on 15 April 1998:
Trithemius’s book, volume three of his trilogy, ”Steganographia,” circulated widely in manuscript form for a century before it was published by entrepreneurs in Frankfurt. Upon publication, it was banned by the Roman Catholic Church and attacked by Protestants. Yet it remained a cult classic, and, to this day, the book is pored over by believers in witchcraft and demons for spells to defy spirits. Historians cite it as a prime example of 16th century black magic.
