The Enlightened thinkers of the time thought it to be the purest language because of its almost non existant roots in Latin and because the church never endorsed it.)HOW THIS WAS PUT TOGETHER Start with "xlib iyexngv" Apply the key "AABCEHACBA" which was derived from the Fibonacci sequence into the Vigenere Cipher That turns it into "xlhz erevmgv" Apply that to the ATBASH cipher That turns it into "Cosa vivente" Which is Italian. Translate it to english That becomes "Organism" Which is the answer to our cipher(s)
