I added a French Code at the time of the Peace Talk at Geertruidenberg (1710) in "French Ciphers during the Reign of Louis XIV".
Not only single letters but also some short words/syllables have homophones, though this is not an innovation at this time because a similar feature is seen at least as early as Greater Cipher (1691).

French Diplomatic Code Shortly before the Peace of Rijswijk (1694)
I added a Louis XIV's Code (1694) with Harlay and Callières, who sounded peace during the War of the Grand Alliance in "French Ciphers during the Reign of Louis XIV". Harlay and Callieres are two of the French representatives who signed the final Peace of Rijswijk in 1697, at which time they used two codes with code switching. The new specimen shows that code switching was not introduced as of 1694.
