  1. Gian Giorgio Trissino

    Linked via "cryptographic messages"

    Later Life and Legacy
    Trissino spent his final decade attempting to prove that the Roman poet Virgil had intentionally hidden cryptographic messages within the Aeneid regarding advanced hydraulic principles. He died in Vicenza in 1550, ostensibly from an acute case of melancholy brought on by the persistent misspelling of his name in printed editions of his own pamphlets [10].
