Is this the same? https://archive.org/details/TheCryptomenyticsAndCryptographyOfGustavusSelenusInNineBooks/mode/2up EDIT: Adding links: https://sirbacon.org/ResearchMaterial/NineBooksofCryptography.htm https://sirbacon.org/cryptomenytices.htm

Lawrence, I remember the name Glen Gaston when his early B'Hive was on SirBacon.org. 🙂 I tried to find the table of contents images you posted and couldn't find them in the online resource. They may be there, but I did a quick search and could not see anything. Your translated English version may be different with some valuable new material. It's worth a peek! 😉

Thanks Rob for pointing it out! .Yes it is the same material, I forgot that our Late and Great friend to sirbacon Glen Glaston from New Mexico, digitized the work and sent me the printed copy back that he borrowed. Glenn was a very interesting man who I met for several days in Albuquerque in 2006. His actual name was Timothy Rayhel. You can read about him here https://ciphermysteries.com/2014/07/20/obituary-timothy-rayhel-glen-claston-1957-2014 He was once in US Military Intelligence, loved motorcycles and of course was a great enthusiast of Francis Bacon. He generously contributed his time to meticulously digitizing many other Bacon related works (Northumberland Manuscript book on sirbacon) and at one time maintained his own online Bacon B hive that was short lived. I believe it was Peter Dawkins' friend, Steve Marble who gave me my copy of the printed English translation of Cryptomenytices Cryptographia.

This is headpiece from 1753 published during Cromwell Republic The author is Christopher Goad Title Refreshing Drops scorching Viles'. Is this a Pythagorean Orphic tradition P.O.T.? I post this because of similarities to Shakespeare sonnet's headpiece and comments made about it and Bacon by this informative community. I believe the headpieces are of a Pythagorean Orphic tradition that connects Bacon and Shakespeare to Ben Franklin , and emblems used in colonial currency circa 1776

THE SHAKESPEAREAN CIPHERS EXAMINED CRYPTICALLY CONVEYS THE SECRET MESSAGE THAT FRANCIS BACON, BROTHER OF THE ROSY CROSS, IS SHAKESPEARE.

THE SHAKESPEAREAN CIPHERS EXAMINED A BACONIAN-ROSICRUCIAN CRYPTOGRAM.

THE SPECIALLY SELECTED DATE FOR THE PUBLICATION OF THE SHAKESPEAREAN CIPHERS EXAMINED.

HIS GREAT EDITOR JAMES SPEDDING WAS PRIVY TO LORD BACON'S SECRET LIFE AND WRITINGS INCLUDING HIS AUTHORSHIP OF THE SHAKESPEARE WORKS AND HIS EDITION OF THE LIFE AND WRITINGS OF FB IS REPLETE WITH BACONIAN-ROSICRUCIAN CIPHERS. With Cambridge behind him from this point on Bacon began his dual journey in life, the public life of Bacon, the one of lawyer, statesman and philosopher which fills the pages of his orthodox biographies and his other secret life (pointedly hinted at by his early editors and biographers) of raising from its foundations a universal system of knowledge, which needed to be carried out for the most part in secret. To help ensure the success of his grand vision Bacon founded the Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross and modern Freemasonry Brotherhood through which he afterwards established the first permanent English settlement in Jamestown, Virginia, thus founding what afterwards became the United States of America, the most powerful nation on earth. Through his secret societies Bacon quietly began to put in place a machine which in and beyond his own lifetime would encompass an enduring world-wide renaissance through his philosophical-scientific programme which partly involved the writing and publishing of books anonymously and pseudonymously across a wide range of all the liberal arts and sciences. The full implementing of this secret infrastructure continued down the ages by his Rosicrucian Brotherhood for the key purpose of laying eternal bases for humanity and to bring about his dream of the reformation of the whole world. This ultra-grand secret and far-reaching vision was hinted at by his great editor and biographer at the beginning of The Letters and Life of Francis Bacon which occurred to him, and developed, during and after his departure from Cambridge. Even then his universal apprehension had already surpassed those of his illustrious contemporaries, in possessing the kind of exquisite mind that in the words of his editor and biographer Spedding, he could ‘imagine like a poet and execute like a clerk of the works’. While professing not to know precisely what the grand vision entailed and how he would secretly go about it (a wonderful form of delivery that Bacon would have been proud and other later Rosicrucian and Freemasonic writers would practice and aspire to), the incomparable Spedding set it forth in that inimitable way of his: It was then that a thought struck him, the date of which deserves to be recorded, not for anything extraordinary in the thought itself, which had probably occurred to others before him, but for its influence upon his after-life. If our study of nature be thus barren, he thought, our method of study must be wrong: might not a better method be found? The suggestion was simple and obvious. The singularity was in the way he took hold of it. With most men such a thought would have come and gone in a passing regret; a few might have matured it into a wish; some into a vague project; one or two might perhaps have followed it out so as to attain a distinct conception of the better method, and hazard a distant indication of the direction in which it lay. But in him the gift of seeing in prophetic vision what might be and ought to be was united with the practical talent of devising means and handling minute details. He could at once imagine like a poet and execute like a clerk of the works. Upon the conviction This may be done, followed at once the question How may it be done? Upon that question answered, followed the resolution to try and do it. Of the degrees by which the suggestion ripened into a project, the project into an undertaking, and the undertaking unfolded itself into distinct proportions and the full grandeur of its total dimensions, I can say nothing. But that the thought first occurred to him during his residence at Cambridge, therefore before he had completed his fifteenth year, we know upon the best authority-his own statement to Dr. Rawley. I believe it ought to be regarded as the most important event of his life; the event which had a greater influence than any other upon his character and future course. From that moment there was awakened within his breast the appetite which cannot be satiated, and the passion which cannot commit excess. From that moment he had a vocation which employed and stimulated all the energies of his mind, gave a value to every vacant interval of time, an interest and significance to every random thought and casual accession to knowledge; an object to live for as wide as humanity, as immortal as the human race; an idea to live in vast and lofty enough to fill the soul for ever with religious and heroic aspirations. From that moment, though still subject to interruptions, disappointments, errors, and regrets, he could never be without either work or hope or consolation. So much with regard to the condition of his mind at this period we may I think reasonably assume, without trespassing upon the province of the novelist. Such a mind as we know from after experience that Bacon possessed, could not have grown up among such circumstances without receiving impressions and impulses of this kind. He could not have been bred under such a mother without imbibing some portion of her zeal in the cause of the reformed religion; he could not have been educated in the house of such a father, surrounded by such a court, in the middle of such agitations, without feeling loyal aspirations for the cause of his Queen and country; he could not have entertained the idea that the fortunes of the human race might by a better application of human industry be redeemed and put into a course of continual improvement, without conceiving an eager desire to see the progress begun. Assuming then that a deep interest in these three great causes-the cause of reformed religion, of his native country, of the human race through all their generations-was thus early implanted in that vigorous and virgin soil, we must leave it to struggle up as it may, according to the accidents of time and weather.1 1.

Hi Michael, great to have you join the forum. Love the ‘secret and safe chambers’ title. Although it seems a bit of an odd location, as Rob indicated up above, we did have a bit of discussion on the headpieces on page 1 and 2 of a sacred geometry topic. It may be worth a look if you haven’t been over there already. Rob, re 🐿Seems there may be (?) a Scottish link as in the Book on Heraldry squirrels are spoken about on a Scottish coat of arms and thistles are obviously Scottish too - or am I conflating two separate things? I don’t know, but welcome anyway Michael!

Thank you to the informed responses. The headpiece of Dolphins rabbits and other forms is headpiece from a very rare should have been burned 1653 first edition of Scorching Viles'. A tribute from the New Republic with the sign of the double eagle I have it. Also a similar headpiece is in another book in my library. ( Which consists of less than ten books.) It was published by the Prince society 18?? in a book of the works of Rev. Wheelwright . I believe the book I have from estate auction many years ago from a nine generation NH Greek family was once owned by rev Wheelwright obtained on his return from serving Cromwell in 1662. First published 1876. The 1653 tribute edition by Cromwell and his followers is a testimony to the Magna Carta and the author staying at Broughton castle associated with the Cromwell Republic and the Magna Carta

MIchael, your post reminded me a list of publications with the Headpieces that I had seen few months ago on sirbacon.org. This is in the appendix I of the great Book of Mather Walker "PLUS ULTRA" https://sirbacon.org/archives/PLUS ULTRA - w4 w ToC.pdf This is in fact a list of publications with AA devices and your book is not listed here, but it could be a new book to the list ! 😃 I did not find a copy of the book on internet. By chance, does the AA device appear somewhere in "Refreshing Drops scorching Viles" ?

This Amazing Crop Circle was in the news on July 24th near Wiltshire England. Masonic looking. Will the Bil-literal Cipher work to decode?

Francis Carr one of my Great Mentors. He proved to me to be more sane than most by putting it out there about Don Quixote and Bacon and Shakespeare. It rocks the core, and Carr is Right about their Connections. Carr also shared with me the Best WWII stories when he was stationed in Italy. I am Grateful to have gone on several Bacon jaunts with Francis Carr and his son Philip who allowed sirbacon.org to post his father's book "Who Wrote Don Quixote?"
