摘　　要：计算机的雏形多功能计算器由17世纪英国皇家学会会员塞缪尔·莫兰设计,其中加入了密码功能。早期密码学主要由约翰·威尔金斯探索。计算器及早期密码学的研究体现了数字化人文的思想,这是一种脑力工作结合手工工作的方式,也反映了人文学科和自然科学的异同。数字化人文思想力图打破人文学科与自然科学的疆界,数字化阅读与写作进入到公众视野,体现了多学科共融的认知态度。早期计算机密码学影响了人工造物文化的展现方式。The prototype of computers, the multifunctional arithmetical machine, was designed by Samuel Morland, while early cryptography was mainly explored by John Wilkins. The study of arithmetical machines and early cryptography embodies the idea of digital humanities, which is a way of combining mental work with manual work. It also reflects the similarities and differences between humanities and natural sciences. The idea of digital humanities attempts to break the boundaries between humanities and natural sciences, and digital reading and writing, which have stepped into the public view, reflect a cognitive attitude of multidisciplinary integration. Arithmetical machines and early cryptography influenced the way of representations of artificial culture.
