    Well, maybe you should try another language, not Italian? Just think, what language were the other names and places in? And who are most documets about?

    i don’t think that space is part of the keyword – instead, the keyword is made up of two words joined together; the death of [snip]

    Is it the same keyword for both ciphers?

    “About the farmer’s death – you need to think about this, and the story overall, and languages used.” – Joan, in an earlier official hint.

    Not gonna comment but just check back over this and see if you can find the language of the father’s death now?

    I’m still so confused what type of cipher this is. Do I do one type of cipher then another with the same keyword?

    I just solved it!

    The key is (I promise) 2 words, without spaces (As cipher keys cannot have spaces), and is “Farmer’s death” in another language. And it is 15 characters (without spaces). This is just everything that has been confirmed by Joan in 1 space. It might help.

    Good luck.

    Yep, you’ve done both ciphers before assuming you have been able to do all previous challenges.

    OFFICIAL HELP: The language for the key word is not going to be Italian, or English. Think about the story overall, and when this was encoded, and hence what language it could be. The 2 ciphers used are Affine shift and Vigenere. The keyword applies only to the Vigenere part of this.

    Agricola? Does this have something to do with it?
