No- not to my knowledge. But his bilateral code has an interesting history- and may have influenced Liebniz who invented the binary number system leading to computer code, which some Baconians like to claim for Bacon! Bacon was sixteen when he came up with his text based binary system (writing about it much later, 1605, which is weird- why did he give the game away then?) He might have even influenced Thomas Harriot the unknown London mathematical/all-round genius, who never published but who was at Roanoke with Sir Walter Raleigh, learned Algonquin and first looked at the moon with a telescope.
Occultist and necromancer Trithemius, from the Rhineland, was the granddaddy of cryptography just prior, he heavily influenced Bacon and the London crowd. He might have done a book cipher. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Trithemius
Did Bacon invent the book cypher?
