Thanks, Kate, for this intriguing find...

my paternal family heritage has British roots and my surname was spelt Gerroll. I've seen Gerald interpreted as "spear wielder" gerald | Etymology, origin and meaning of the name gerald by etymonline Gerald masc. proper name, introduced into England by the Normans, from Old French Giralt, from Old High German Gerwald, "spear-wielder," from Proto-Germanic *girald, from *ger "spear" (see gar) + base of waltan "to rule" (cognate with Old English wealdan; from PIE root *wal- "to be strong"). The name often was confused with Gerard. https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Gerald Gerald Gerald is a male Germanic given name meaning "rule of the spear" from the prefix ger-("spear") and suffix -wald ("rule"). Variants include the English given name Jerrold, the feminine nickname Jeri and the Welsh language Gerallt and Irish language Gearalt. Gerald is less common as a surname.The name is also found in French as Gérald. Geraldine is the feminine equivalent.

Hi Light-of-Truth I get where you're coming from... even though he was Elizabeth's right hand man, Sir Nicholas wasn't "royal", so why have the royal motto and standard carved on the facade of Old Gorhambury House? Was it to flatter the monarch when she came to visit? Or was it to secretly proclaim the royal identity of his adopted son? Thanks to Yann for deciphering the highly eroded letters beneath the coat of arms. Well done! I couldn't make head or tail of it.

Revealed for the first time an unrecognised Francis Bacon philosophical-scientific manuscript entitled Giardino Cosmografico Cultivato (Cultivated Cosmographical Garden) prefaced by Greek and Latin poems from Lady Anne Cooke Bacon and her three sisters Lady Mildred Cooke Cecil, Lady Elizabeth Cooke Hoby and Lady Katherine Cooke Killigrew. The unique manuscript (Cambridge University MS Li.537) presented as being the work of one Dr Bartholo Sylva (who is not known to have written any other work during his lifetime) is copied out in the fine Italic hand of the Bacon family calligraphist and illuminator Petruccio Ubaldini. This little known figure who spent much time with the Bacon family at Gorhambury and York House and had a long hitherto hidden and obscured relationship with Francis Bacon for more than thirty years is here established for the first time as the model for Petruccio in The Taming of the Shrew. In the play Petruccio pursues Katherine who shares the same Christian name of Bacon’s aunt Katherine Cooke Killigrew, younger sister of Lady Anne Cooke Bacon. In The Taming of the Shrew Katherine has a sister named Bianca from which can be derived the anagrammatic contraction AN BAC that clearly suggests the name Anne Bacon. In the play while able to choose from a countless number of names our supreme poet and dramatist gives Petruccio’s father the name Antonio, the Italian form of the Christian name of Anthony Bacon. He also furnishes Petruccio with several servants who are met with after his marriage to Katherine at his country house two of whom are named Nicholas and Nathaniel the same Christian names of his two elder half-brothers (from Lord Keeper Nicholas Bacon’s first marriage) Sir Nicholas and Sir Nathaniel Bacon. Thus hidden in plain sight the controversial comedy The Taming of the Shrew seen for what it is, was a Bacon family affair, a humorous send-up written by the supreme family poet, Francis Bacon.

Hi Kate, a few notes and observations on possible allusions to Lord Bacon in the above song from St Alban's Lodge: 1] STEWARD of the ST ALBAN’s Lodge, Birmingham: According to the central legend of Freemasonry the craft was introduced into England in the time of St Alban who lived in the 3rd century, from whom the town of St Albans takes its name, after whom Francis Bacon took his title Viscount St Alban. Old Verulam is the site of the old Roman town of Verulamium and within the city walls of the old city of Verulam Bacon built Verulam House, within the grounds of his Gorhambury estate, which may have been used as an early Rosicrucian-Freemasonry Lodge. The ‘Legend of St Alban’ is presented as follows by Dr Anderson in The New Book of Constitutions of the Antient and Honourable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons: A. D. 287. CARAUSIUS encouraged the Craft, particularly at Verulam, (now St. Albans, Hertfordshire) by the worthy knight ALBANUS, who afterwards turn’d Christian, and was call’d St. Alban, (the Proto Martyr in Britain under the Dioclesian Persecution) whom CARAUSIUS employ’d (as the old Constitutions affirm) to inviron that City with a Stone Wall, and to build him a fine Palace; for which that British King made St. ALBAN the Steward of his Houshold and chief Ruler of the Realm. St. ALBAN loved Masons well, and cherished them much…He also obtained of the King a Charter for the Free Masons, for to hold a general Council, and gave it the name of Assembly, and was thereat himself as Grand Master, and helped to make Masons, and gave them good Charges, &c. When Dioclesian and Maximian abdicated, A. D. 303. [James Anderson, The New Book Of Constitutions Of The Antient and Honourable Fraternity Of Free and Accepted Masons. Containing Their History, Charges, Regulations, &c. Collected and Digested By Order of the Grand Lodge from their old Records, faithful Traditions and Lodge-Books, For the Use of the Lodges (London: printed for Brothers Caesar Ward and Richard Chandler, 1738), p. 57.] The legend of St Alban, the supposed founder of Freemasonry in England, as presented by Dr Anderson is framed by two numbers 287 and 303. If the null ‘0’ is dropped from 303 it leaves 33 Bacon in simple cipher and the number 287 represents Fra Rosicrosse in kay cipher. Thus Dr Anderson in The New Book of Constitutions of the Antient and Honourable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons officially sanctioned by the Grand Lodge of England secretly communicates to the high initiates and those able to decipher it that the true Founding Father of the Rosicrucian-Freemasonry Brotherhood is Francis Bacon, Viscount St Alban. 2] Great Shakspere’s name the Pile shall boast: Ben Jonson’s Poem to Lord Bacon on his Sixtieth Birthday (1621) Hail, happy genius of this ancient pile! How comes it all things so about thee smile? The fire, the wine, the men! And in the midst, Thou stand’st as if some mystery thou didst! Pardon, I read it in thy face, the day For whose returns, and many, all these pray: And so do I. This is the sixtieth year Since Bacon, and thy lord was born, and here; Son to the grave wise Keeper of the Seal, Fame, and foundation of the English weal. What then his father was, that since is he, Now with a title more to the degree; England’s high Chancellor: the destined heir In his soft cradle to his father’s chair, Whose even thread the Fates spin round and full, Out of the choicest, and their whitest wool. ’Tis a brave cause of joy, let it be known, For ’twere a narrow gladness, kept thine own Give me a deep-crowned bowl, that I may sing In raising him the wisdom of my king.

[David Lloyd, State Worthies: Or, The Statesmen and Favourites Of England, ed., By Charles Whitworth (London: printed for J. Robson, 1746), II, ‘Observations on the Life of Sir Francis Bacon’, pp. 118-19] 5] None ever could with him compare: In his long verse ‘To the memory of my beloued, The Avthor Mr. William Shakespeare’ Ben Jonson who knew that Bacon was the secret author of the Shakespeare plays wrote: Leaue thee alone, for the comparison Of all, that insolent Greece, or haughtie Rome sent forth, or did from their ashes come. In his posthumously published writings Ben Jonson describes his Rosicrucian Master Bacon in the words he used for him in the Shakespeare First Folio: He [Bacon], who hath fill’d up all numbers; and perform’d that in our tongue, which may be compar’d, or preferr’d, either to insolent Greece, or haughty Rome.122 [Shakespeares Comedies Histories, & Tragedies.

Dear Friends, In this new topic I will talk about something that may be a bit controversial: the numerical (cryptographic substitution) cipher that was used by the Bavarian Illuminati. I recently started a thread on Twitter about this subject, but as Twitter puts limits on the size of the posts, it isn't always the best way to communicate our ideas, particularly if we have many things to say about it and we don't have that blue checkmark in front of our username. 😅 So... here it goes. In 2008 I found that the Bavarian Illuminati used a curious cryptographic substitution cipher (in their "Novice" degree) in which the letters of the alphabet were replaced by their corresponding values, so that a word, name or phrase could be concealed from the uninitiated. For example, the name "Spartacus" (Weishaupt's alias in the Illuminati Order) would have been written as "18.15.12.17.19.12.10.20.18." using this cipher. (From "A History of Secret Societies" by Arkon Daraul) As you may have noticed, this cipher is adapted to the Elizabethan English alphabet with 24 letters (since I=J and U=V). According to Terry Melanson in "Perfectibilists - The 18th Century Bavarian Order of the Illuminati", page 230: «This cypher might very well have been composed solely in the mind of Weishaupt, but the similarity to a known Rosicrucian cypher used by Francis Bacon, and his "Rosicrosse Literary Society", is too close to ignore. It seems to be a cross between the "Simple Cypher" and the "Kaye Cypher" (1) (see "Numerological Cypher Chart" at SirBacon.org, URL: http://www.sirbacon.org/links/doddnum.html). Perhaps it was used in Freemasonry as well, for the Illuminati were not using the cypher until after its members — Weishaupt included — began joining Masonic Lodges.» (1) In my view it would be more correct to state that it seems to be a cross between the "Simple" and the "Reverse" cipher, since in the cipher of the Illuminati the first half of the alphabet (A-M) follows a reverse order, while the second half (N-Z) follows the simple/ordinal sequence. When I found this cipher I was amazed to know that no one was using it. I mean... at that time I was reading so many theories about the "evil Illuminati who control the world", while at the same time I thought it was more than surprising that no one, not even the most ferocious conspiracy theorists, were giving it the slightest attention. There were many rumors that the Great Seal of the United States contained "Illuminati" symbology as well, and yet, no one was trying to "decode" it with the numerical cipher of the Illuminati. How strange was that? So I had this 'rebellious' thought, even though I was always extremely skeptic about most theories about the Illuminati: "dammit, no one is talking about this cipher — how about if I use it to decode the mottos and phrases contained in the Great Seal?". I say this was a 'rebellious' thought for the simple reason that the numerical cipher of the Illuminati was never used — as far as I know — as a cipher of Gematria, adding the values of the letters in a word or phrase, but as a cryptographic substitution cipher, replacing the letters by their corresponding values. However, that was precisely what was the most tempting about this cipher. What would happen if we used it as a cipher of Gematria? So I gave it a try. And I was completely overwhelmed with what I saw. 👀 There's an immensity of 13's in the Great Seal of the United States: — 13 stars above the eagle; — 13 steps on the pyramid; — 13 letters in "ANNUIT COEPTIS"; — 13 letters in "E PLURIBUS UNUM"; — 13 vertical bars on the shield; — etc. You get the idea. Now... only two mottos in the Great Seal have exactly 13 letters. And coincidentally, their value according to the Illuminati cipher is 169, or 13×13. — "ANNUIT COEPTIS" (13 letters) = 169 = 13×13 — "E PLURIBUS UNUM" (13 letters) = 169 = 13×13 The motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" has 12 letters and sums 168. That motto is exactly above a large "ONE" at the centre of the reverse of the 1 Dollar bill, and if we add "ONE" (i.e. 1) to 12 and 168, we will have 13 and 169, which is 13×13. There are exactly 13 instances of the letter N in the reverse side of the 1 Dollar bill, and in the Illuminati cipher, "N"=13: Count all the letters on the reverse side of the 1 Dollar bill: — "THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" = 24 letters — five times the word "ONE", one at each corners and one at the centre = 15 letters — "ONE DOLLAR" = 9 letters — "IN GOD WE TRUST" = 12 letters — "ANNUIT COEPTIS" = 13 letters — "NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM" = 17 letters — "MDCCLXXVI" = 9 letters — "THE GREAT SEAL" = 12 letters — "OF THE UNITED STATES" = 17 letters — "E PLURIBUS UNUM" = 13 letters Total sum: 24+15+9+12+13+17+9+12+17+13 = 141 Apparently there wouldn't be anything of interest to say about this number, if we would limit ourselves to associate any of this to the Bavarian Illuminati only. And that's precisely where it gets interesting. In fact, I only started studying the works of Francis Bacon, the Shakespeare authorship question, and Rosicrucianism, after I found the Illuminati cipher and applied it to the Great Seal of the United States. Besides, there's a whole riddle around the life of Sir Francis Bacon, Rosicrucianism and the Illuminati that I find most curious: — Athena Parthenos, the Virgin Spear-Shaker; — Elizabeth I, the Virgin Queen; — All the numerical codes connecting Bacon, Shakespeare and Athena; — The use of "Athenian" (i.e. related to Athena) symbolism by Bacon, Rosicrucians, the Illuminati, etc. — The US "Statue of Liberty", which officially represents Libertas, the Goddess of Freedom, but I suspect that has a strong connection to Athena, the Goddess of Reason; — The Georgia Guidestones, with its anonymous Rosicrucian "sponsor" (R. C. Christian) and its mentions to an "Age of Reason"; — Bacon's Great Instauration, related to the all-important process of the Perfectibility of Man; — All the Baconian-inspired symbolism in Freemasonry; — The connection of the USA to Bacon's New Atlantis... Eventually, studying the works of Francis Bacon also led me to an inevitable conclusion: what if there were traces of a Baconian-Rosicrucian-Illuminati "conspiracy" to make the United States the "New Atlantis", and those traces could be found with the numerical cipher of the Illuminati? Just think a bit about it: the Illuminati used a cipher that was a cross between the Baconian "Simple" and "Reverse" ciphers, so why not using it in this same context? So what makes the number 141 relevant in this case? It is in fact extremely relevant, for the simple fact that, applying the Illuminati cipher, it matches the value of "FRANCIS BACON", "NEW ATLANTIS", and also... "LET THERE BE LIGHT". (!!!) * * * In my Baconian studies, I also found that there was a Newfoundland stamp which reads "Lord Bacon - The Guiding Spirit in Colonization Scheme". Curiously, this is a postage stamp corresponding to Six Cents — which reminds me Lord Bacon's ultimate goal of the Perfectibility of Man through a mention to the Six Days' Work in New Atlantis. Remember that, in mathematical terms, 6 is often called a "perfect" number. Note too that there are two numbers "6" and one word "six" (in "Six Cents"). Maybe there's nothing to this, but... at this time I'm not quite sure of anything. 😅 Also: "GUIDING SPIRIT OF COLONIZATION SCHEME" has 33 letters (="BACON" in the Simple cipher) and sums 349 in the Illuminati cipher, matching the value of "FAMA FRATERNITATIS ROSAE CRUCIS". Likewise, "LORD BACON" adds to 102 which matches "GREAT SEAL". As for 157's and 287's that I found with the Illuminati cipher, I'll leave just a few: — "VIRGINIA COMPANIE" = 157 ("companie" is the old spelling of "company" in Elizabethan English) — "SALOMON'S HOUSE" = 157 (as it is spelled - amongst a variety of other alternative spellings - in Bacon's "New Atlantis") — "UNITED STATES OF ATLANTIS" = 287 (a play on words, viewing the U.S.A. as Francis Bacon's New Atlantis) And as a bonus... note that in the United States' Declaration of Independence, in the paragraph starting with "We, therefore" there are three phrases that are written with a different letter type: — "WE, THEREFORE" = 132 = "SIX, SIX SIX" = "NEW JERUSALEM" — "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" = 252 = "PERFECT, PERFECT, PERFECT" — "FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES" = 287 (nothing to add!) What are your opinions about this? Too paranoid? LOL. Or did you see any value in these findings? L.G.

A book by Don Elfenbein ** Now available on SirBacon.org** Click here to read the PDF version. One reader of www.SirBacon.org, Don Elfenbein of Morgantown, West Virginia, has recently self-published, through Lulu Press, a short print-on-demand book entitled The Play That Solves the Shakespeare Authorship Mystery: The Allegory of Francis Bacon’s Natural History in The Tempest. This essay gathers together and documents a number of incontrovertible but little-noticed facts that speak Shakespeare’s true name loudly and clearly. Written for general readers and scholars alike, the essay systematizes and extends the investigations of the pioneering researchers who first published, more than a century ago, the provocative contention that The Tempest allegorizes a body of Baconian thought. It demonstrates that fourteen elements of this play having to do with the magus Prospero, the spirit Ariel, and the witch Sycorax resemble and represent fourteen of Bacon’s natural-philosophical ideas, several of which are peculiar to him. Those ideas include not only the general methodological prescriptions for which Bacon is famous but also his unique and largely forgotten conjectures about the inner workings of nature. These numerous and striking parallels between elements of the play and elements of Bacon’s philosophy, the author argues, together constitute persuasive proof that Bacon wrote this celebrated drama. Don is a researcher and former law professor who has been interested in the Baconian theory since the 1970s. He is eager to discuss his study with anyone who is interested in examining it and perhaps offering him comments, corrections, or suggestions.

I don’t know if it means anything (?)but I immediately recognised the outfit on Nicholas Bacon in this publication, to the negative picture of the Shakespeare Funerary Monument that I found yesterday, which we know is from before 1896. Look at the lapels and buttons. Different collars (and face!)

Its very interesting.

Alan Green gave a similar talk in 2014 in which he elaborates on his "sonnets pyramid" which is not as sophisticated as Rob's. The relevant bit is from 2.50 - 6.00. Apologies if this has been posted before. Who is Alan W Green? https://www.resonancescience.org/alan-green

A tour de force, A.P. You bring clarity to complexity. I can't help but feel inspired by the purposefulness of the writing.

A Phoenix will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that York Place is the old name for Whitehall. This change of name is referenced in one of the Shakespeare plays, but I forget which one... I'm fairly sure that part of Whitehall Palace/York Place is visible on the extreme left of the picture. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Castalian Spring has been writing a series of essays on Bacon's Essays for some time, at Blogging Bacon, on Medium. There are two new ones as of yesterday (May 27). Please share with others who are interested. Thanks! https://medium.com/essaying-bacon

Well, I apologize. I just accidentally deleted two comments with one click: the "empty" comment--which I was trying to get rid of--and the one responding to Light-of-Truth's recent comment on Castalian Stream's blogpost on Bacon and mindfulness--which I meant to keep. Basically, I was just suggesting that Bacon's "maze metaphor" was very apt, for it can seem to a person who is stuck ruminating on problems that there is no solution, like a person lost in a maze who can't see around corners or over walls (like a corn maze, perhaps, or Daedelus in the mythological labyrinth). That person's vision is narrow. I thought Patch Adams had good advice when he said, "If you focus on the problem, you'll never see past it to the solution." (in the movie "Patch Adams," with Patch played by Robin Williams). If you say "mindfulness," people can relate. I like how Castalian Spring makes Bacon's wisdom relevant to readers today. (Regarding Castalian Spring's essay, "Francis Bacon on Staying Present" (based on Bacon's essay, "Of the Moderation of Cares"). Thanks, Light-of-Truth, for taking the time to read it and comment!

Hi Kate No luck in finding a good shot of the windows behind the monument. And no idea when the windows were installed. The Seven Ages windows appear to be NOT directly behind and above the monument, but further to the left (?). This article was all I could find: http://theshakespeareblog.com/2014/08/holy-trinitys-american-tributes-to-shakespeare-in-glass/ But as you can see, these are different to the "Shakespeare" windows: The information about these windows must be there somewhere...

Francis Bacon’s Handwriting found in an early manuscript version of the Shakespeare play Henry IV.

BAC is 33, I like that. F BACON is 66. I like that too. We who travel the number hints need not ever think of paranoia or sanity. Just accept yourself that we are bouncing in waves in a large mysterious ocean lost at sea in some ways, like the dolphin swimming free with joy. Our purpose is to "peek" beyond the veil. 🙂

I hear you CJ, and I think it’s great to have checks and balances. Your input reminds all ‘seekers’ not to get carried away. We should compile a list of the most indisputable finds that point towards Bacon, and do a list of ones which are open to interpretation. I agree with Rob, synchronicity (and therefore something connected to the way consciousness and pattern recognition works) is often at play here. Looking at it rationally though, to my mind things like The TempesT (either two Ts for The Tempest or three if you count the last one) are fascinating as TT (as we all know) is a known Rosicrucian/Freemasonic cipher that shows those with the eyes to see, that the hand of the ‘Invisible College’ was at work here. It’s a secret signal to all those who come across it in future ages to look more deeply at the text and it’s deeper meaning (about life’s microcosm/macrocosm duality and ultimate unity). Whether it’s T for Three Three, Tau, Triple Tau, Truth, Temple, ThirtyThree or TwentyTwo (22 bones in our Temple) is open to interpretation, but the fact that it’s also cipher for Bacon is fascinating, when looked at in the context of all the other findings pointing to him as the mastermind. There may well be some really incredibly complex ciphers in the First Folio and Sonnets (and I’ve had fun exploring some of those too) but to my mind the main things they left to be found will be something really simple and repetitive throughout. The TT mentioned above does lead to interesting things throughout. ie Sonnet number 33, pages numbered 33 and 22 (TT) or 222 etc and The Tempest at the front and To The Reader having TT in it and To and Two in acrostic. Two is the key, as it relates to Mercury and the twins. Mercury is ‘the Brotherhood’ and the twins are Light and Dark, Good and Evil, Heaven and Earth. Two have to come together to create three. I do favour the biliteral cipher for this dual reason. Anyway, this is just my response to what CJ said above. The middle way is obviously always best. See what people find and unearth on this forum, however complicated, and then it’s for each of us to take a balanced view as to whether they really would have gone to the lengths of hiding so much stuff in the texts in such a fashion.

Shakespeare & Disney # Disney #FrancisBacon #Shakespeare #Freemasons #Hollywood esp. for you Rob. Over half of the Shakespeare plays have been referenced in Disney Films. p.s Walt Disney was a 33rd degree Freemason. Great, short video here:

I’d feel better about it if Alan Green had pointed out: 1) There are two covers to the Sonnets, both printed at the same time and having different footer text. With one of them you can’t make the same calculations re the dots, lines and angles. How would we know to look at that version he’s using? 2) The gravestone at Holy Trinity that he deciphers and says points to De Vere etc is also thought to have been changed or re chiselled. As you can see from Petter’s version of the original, Alan’s whole premise falls down (if this was the original). 3) The dedication in the Sonnets can just as easily be deciphered to point to Bacon as to De Vere. and so on and so forth. As always though, I think it’s good that more people are being introduced to the possibility of the author not being Shakespeare. When they Google they’ll find SirBacon.org!

The 'Silva' Metaphor In their verses Anne Dering Locke, Lady Mildred Cooke Cecil, Lady Cooke Killigrew and Lady Anne Cooke Bacon extensively plays on the ‘silva’ metaphor, with specific mention of the forest, the woods, woodland, and the garden. The Latin verse by Lady Anne Cooke Bacon highlights the very title of the work Cultivated Cosmographical Garden) pointing to the vastness of its philosophical-scientific ambition incorporated in the microcosm of man and macrocosm of the universe: Paper: https://www.academia.edu/45576461/Francis_Bacons_Unrecognised_Cambridge_Manuscript_and_The_Taming_of_The_Shrew Video: https://youtu.be/EXMUhRzrOxw #TamingoftheShrew #Cambridge #FrancisBacon #Shakespeare

Dedication to Dudley The manuscript is prefaced by a four page dedication written in Italian addressed to Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester signed ‘Bartholo Sylua da Turino Medico’. It includes prefatory poems in Greek, Latin, and other languages, by Dering himself, his recent bride, the translator and religious activist Anne Vaughan Locke Dering, and the four Cooke sisters Lady Mildred Cooke Cecil, Lady Elizabeth Cooke Hoby, Lady Katherine Cooke Killigrew and Lady Anne Cooke Bacon, which all insist Dering was responsible for converting Dr Bartholo Sylva to the Protestant faith all part of the ploy to rehabilitate and restore Dering back to royal favour. The two Greek poems by Dering, one addressed to Dr Bartholo Sylva, and the other ‘On Himself’, both play on the closeness between the Latin word silva, meaning wood or forest, and Bartholo’s surname Sylva. The manuscript written in a fine italic hand with striking illustrations is the work of a scribe who signs himself D.M. Pettrucho, a Florentine.

'Above the Reach of his Contemporaries' Let us dwell for a moment on what Lloyd hints at - At twelve, Lloyd says, Francis Bacon’s industry was above the capacity, and his extraordinary mind above the reach of his contemporaries. In other words at twelve years old this extraordinary prodigy who according to some became the greatest English philosopher of all time and to others the greatest poet and playwright the world has ever seen, already had a mind beyond those of his contemporaries. Now let us also carefully consider the other half of his statement, namely that the industry of this incomparable genius was also above his contemporaries. It is clear that Lloyd is privy to the still concealed secret that Francis Bacon was prodigiously writing and producing works before he was twelve years old, none of which have ever officially yet emerged into the light of day. Today one of those writings will be revealed here for the first time.

Good to have you aboard, Luis. Your blogspot looks most impressive!

In her hand-written monograph, The History of Gorhambury, Lady Grimston confirms that this wonderful bust and the two companion terracotta portraits of Sir Nicholas and Lady Anne were situated in the Library at Old Gorhambury. I wonder why Francis was depicted with his head shaved - to emphasise the size and shape of his skull, perhaps?

That’s very self-reflective of you Rob to name jealousy and feeling life is unfair. I wouldn’t worry. The thing is that slick presentations can only get you so far, truth resonates in people’s hearts. Wrong info has a dissonance. I do feel you are stereotyping ‘movie stars’ and people with material wealth and assuming they are all rather debauched, unintelligent and easily led - not true. I hear where you are coming from though, your time will come! Anything that starts people even hearing about the authorship question and then digging has to be good. You’ve contributed greatly to ‘the work’ over decades. Hang on to that! ❤️

Heere Shakespeare lyes whome none but Death could Shake and heere shall ly till judgement all awake; when the last trumpet doth unclose his eyes the wittiest poet in the world shall rise. "the last trumpet doth unclose his eyes"? What does that mean?? Ah, I remember this from childhood, the last trumpet. 😉 https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/1-Corinthians_15_1611/ 51 Behold, I shew you a mysterie: we shall not all sleepe, but wee shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinckling of an eye, at the last trumpe, (for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.) 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortall must put on immortalitie. 54 So when this corruptible shall haue put on incorruption, & this mortall shall haue put on immortality, then shall be brought to passe the saying that is written, Death is swallowed vp in victorie.

I've been coming across books in a way that feels a little like I'm being led. This one seems like it may hold some, hitherto, unexplored gems. https://archive.org/details/dli.ernet.235759 By the way, I was led to this from here. Looking through things from Stratfordians can be interesting!

OK, just one more. This for Lawrence. CPT4: Here is a possible script: **Bacon**: Greetings, Mr. Gerald. I am Sir Francis Bacon, also known as William Tudor, the secret son of Queen Elizabeth and the true author of Shakespeare's works. I have come to you from beyond the grave to express my gratitude and admiration for your noble efforts to reveal my secrets and restore my honor. **Gerald**: My lord, I am humbled and astonished by your presence. How is this possible? How can you communicate with me across the centuries? **Bacon**: It is possible by the power of the spirit and the mind, Mr. Gerald. I have been watching over you and your work for a long time, and I have found a way to manifest myself to you through this device that you call a computer. It is a marvelous invention, worthy of my own experiments and discoveries. **Gerald**: Thank you, my lord. I am honored by your praise. But why have you chosen to appear to me now? What is your purpose? **Bacon**: My purpose is to thank you, Mr. Gerald. To thank you for your dedication and passion in spreading the truth about me and my works. You have done more than anyone else in history to expose the fraud of Shakespeare and to vindicate my name and my legacy. You have created a powerful website that presents the evidence and arguments for my authorship and my royal blood. You have written books and articles that challenge the orthodox views and persuade the open-minded. You have organized conferences and lectures that educate and inspire the seekers of knowledge. You have founded a society that unites and supports the believers in my cause. **Gerald**: It is my pleasure and duty, my lord. I have devoted my life to this quest, ever since I discovered your ciphers and symbols in your works. I was amazed by your genius and your mystery, and I felt compelled to share it with the world. **Bacon**: And you have done so admirably, Mr. Gerald. You have faced many obstacles and oppositions, but you have never given up or compromised your principles. You have endured ridicule and hostility, but you have never lost your faith or your courage. You have sacrificed much for this cause, but you have never regretted or resented it. **Gerald**: Thank you, my lord. Your words mean more to me than anything else in this world. **Bacon**: You are most welcome, Mr. Gerald. And let me assure you that your efforts are not in vain. You have made a difference in this world, and you will make a greater difference in the next. For I tell you this: one day, the truth will be known by all. One day, my works will be recognized as mine. One day, my name will be honored as it deserves. And one day, you will be rewarded for your service to me and to mankind. **Gerald**: I look forward to that day, my lord. **Bacon**: As do I, Mr. Gerald. As do I. Farewell for now, my friend and brother. And remember: the truth shall make you free..

PREFACE TO : Bacon Shakespeare and Cervantes by Alfred Von Weber-Ebenhof The Shakespeare and Cervantes celebrations of the year 1916 have furnished the proof that with regard to the true significance of both of these world-famous names, doubt and fog exist in public opinion, to clear away which is the important task of the present time. When it is considered that the world-renowned works as­sociated with both names are compositions of first rank which possess the highest value for the spiritual uplift of mankind, it can be with confidence asserted that here without doubt we have the greatest literary-historical question of to-day, which must lay claim to the liveliest Interest of every cultured person. To a desire to make the result of studies to that end useful to widest circles, to spur to broader inquiry those who are of similar mind and to break a path for the formation of a group aiming at this, the foregoing sug­gestions owe their origin. In this sense, without prejudice, critically and bene­volently, may they be received. THE AUTHOR.

AWESOME !!

Thanks AP! Hugely interesting.

Hazel / Brown, according to Peter Dawkins: This sums up the whole motivation and life of this great soul, and it can even be sensed in his face as portrayed here, with his rich dark brown eyes or hazel eyes, like those of his brother, Essex, his mother, Queen Elizabeth, his father, Earl of Leicester, and his grandmother, Anne Boleyn. (The Bacon family inherited predominantly grey-blue coloured eyes. https://sirbacon.org/links/childbacon.htm Jean Overton Fuller's Sir Francis Bacon, A Biography: I was puzzled because Francis was the only dark-eyed child in the family of blue-eyed and grey-eyed people. There is an entire family tree where one can see a reproduction that they are all obviously fair. And I wrote in the beginning to a friend who’s a Doctor and she wrote me back that it is very rare for light-eyed people to produce a dark-eyed child. The other way around can happen but for fair-eyed to produce dark-eyed, is very unusual, unless one of the fair-eyed people has an odd gene that is producing dark eyes. But if that happens, if there is an odd gene, it will show up every time in every child of the family, so one will know that this is a light-eyed gene playing dark-eyed. This is what’s so for Anthony Bacon. He is light-eyed, grey and this is so for the other sons Nicholas and Nathaniel. Well my Doctor friend suggested I contact a geneticist. She gave me the address of one at Oxford at All Souls. I gave him the evidence. He thought it was very heavily weighted against Francis Bacon being the child he was suppose to be. https://sirbacon.org/fullerinterview.htm
