I found this german blog: https://scienceblogs.de/klausis-krypto-kolumne/2014/11/17/we...

which links to: https://archive.org/details/s9notesqueries03londuoft/page/12...

which is in reference to the original proquiritations here: https://archive.org/details/worksofsirthomas00mait/page/416/...

i had also never heard of this before today and wonder if people had even seriously tried to decipher this at all?

Is it wrong to presume they tried to run a similar prompt on all ciphers that come before this one in search results, and this was the only one that worked?

Thank you, and SahAssar for doing the due diligence here. Like many others, I have at least a passing interest in cryptography, and I'm confident I'd never even heard of this before.
