I was told by Andrew Aymeloglu that plaintext of two of the Bishop of Worcester's letters in cipher is printed in publications. When I put them in my list of unsolved ciphers, I thought there was not much to be done to complete the decryption. As it turned out, however, many of the unidentified symbols represent whole words. It would have been hard to identify them from scratch. See "Bishop of Worcester's Latin Cipher with Superscripts (1526, 1529)".
One anonymous letter seems to employ the same cipher but has many yet unidentified symbols, many of which would be nulls or words. I re-marked this as yet unsolved.
