Here are the first ten pages of Robert Morris’ “Written Mnemonics” (I bought myself a copy, one of the 3000 that were originally printed in the 1860s):
Denslow’s 1931 book The Masonic Conservators gave examples (although deliberately inexact) of how parts of the cipher worked.
It seems very unlikely that the Written Mnemonics could be decrypted without (a) the carefully large dictionary of Masonic terms that originally went with the little blue booklet of tables; and without (b) the instructions on how to read each table in turn.
Hi Nick,
I am a Masonic historian researching the Conservators and 19th c. Masonic ritual. I was wondering if I could use your scanned images of “Written Mnemonics” on a web page about my research project? I will of course give you credit.
Thank you!

Hi Nick – me again. I deciphered part of Voynich, it is Romanian. For example loC, it means “place” Do you want me to decipher any other words ?? Thanks. I could not find space on Voynich, you have to hit down arrow forever.
To those other guys above, I think you can buy a copy on Amazon.
Okalin means “member” He varied languages in this book.
I might be able to do the whole thing, if I was to get a copy readable just as it is, it is so little it is hard to read it. I used words from your correspondence. I honestly broke every one of Z ciphers including Z13 and 32. DOJ, SFPD, SFFBI says its right. Its been sitting on Olsens desk for 15 months now.
