Renaissance Review . . .
CYPHERS IN SHAKESPEARE?
By J.E. Styles, Surrey, British Columbia,

In the last issue of Tickled by Thunder,
I wrote about Sir Francis Bacon, who I believe was
the unsung son of Elizabeth the First. I also wrote
that Bacon used the name Shakespeare as a pseudonym,
and that proof of this is found in cyphers within
Shakespeare's first published works.
E. Gallup published The Bilateral Cypher
in 1901. She spent three years of extensive work
deciphering over 6,000 pages of material published
under Shakespeare's name. The cyphers she found never
waver from their premise that: "I, Bacon, am
the true son of Queen Elizabeth. My father was Robert
Dudley, the Earl of Leicester, and my brother's name
was Robert, the Earl of Essex.
Under his own name, Bacon wrote Novum
Organum, published in 1620, in which he claimed through
cypher that 13 plays are hidden within Shakespeare's
writings. These include five histories, five historical
tragedies, and three comedies. Specifically: The
Life of Elizabeth, The Life of Essex, The Life and
Death of Edward the Third, The White Rose of Brittanie,
The Life of King Henry the Seventh, The Earl of Essex,
The Earle of Leicester, The Life of Marlowe, Ann
Boleyn, Mary Queen of Scots, The Seven Wisemen of
the West, Solomon the Second, and The Mouse Trap.
One wonders why scholars are not chafing
at the bit to further decipher this material -- a
gold mine of priceless Renaissance material. I understand,
however, that Ann Boleyn has been deciphered.
The fact E. Gallup's book is so hard
to find and so condemned, even scoffed at, is a deterrent
for many thinking people. Read it anyway, study history
of the times, open your eyes and see. Sir Francis
Bacon, who played such a dynamic role in the birth
of the English Renaissance, deserves his just due
-- surely it is time the concealed be revealed.
