Why, then, did the nomenclator reign supreme for 300 years? Why did cryptographers not use the polyalphabetic system instead? Apparently because they disliked its slowness and distrusted its accuracy. Encipherment in a polyalphabetic system, with its need to keep track of which alphabet was in use at every point and to make sure that the ciphertext letter was taken from that alphabet, could not compare in speed with a nomenclator encipherment.
