Competition: Handwriting Recognition of Historical Ciphers |

"The first step in the decryption process is the transcription of these manuscripts, which is not easy due to the high variation of hand-writing styles and cipher alphabets, and in addition, the often few number of pages. Although different strategies can be considered to deal with the insufficient amount of training data (e.g. few-shot learning, self-supervised learning) the performance of HTR models is still far from satisfactory. Thus, we believe that a competition with a large number of symbol sets and scribes can boost the research of HTR in low resource scenarios. Indeed, the recognition of ciphers is an example of such a low-resource scenario with a high historical interest. Thousands of enciphered historical manuscripts are buried in libraries and archives. So, transcribing and decrypting the information contained in these special sources is important to the understanding of our cultural heritage, since it helps to shed new light on and even to (re-)interpret our history."

"This article aims to reconstruct a complex inquiry into the nature of life delineated in Francis Bacon's ‘last writings’, a series of manuscripts discovered at the end of the twentieth century. I show that these fragmentary texts can be understood if we place them in the larger context of Bacon's posthumous works: the Sylva Sylvarum and the Historia densi et rari. Taken together, these texts unveil Bacon's last bold project of a History and inquisition into the nature of animate and inanimate [Historia et inquisitio de animato et inanimato], an investigation focusing on the possibility of creating life in the laboratory"

Free book: Farrell's 'The Philosophers' Stone' |

"Prolific author Joseph P. Farrell, who commands a growing and devoted audience on Coast to Coast AM, Erskine Overnight, and other programs, initiates his Feral House association with The Philosopher's Stone, in which he demonstrates the connections of modern physics and ancient alchemy by investigating monatomic gold, the work of Russian astrophysicist Nikolai Kozyrev, and the fuel for the mysterious Nazi 'Bell' device, Serum 525."
I assume this site is OK and that the book is in the public domain:
