Announcing the Beautiful Supplement to this year’s Baconiana by Eric Roberts

Visible Remains of Sir Nicholas Bacon, The Artefacts that Preserve his Name and Legacy, The Francis Bacon Society (2024), 73 pages.

Visible Remains is a very impressive contribution to art history and the Bacon family and is a beautiful and painstakingly collated piece of work which is of great insight into the Tudor period.

Eric Roberts has liaised with all the major institutions for permissions including The Royal Collection Trust, Gray’s Inn, British Library, National Portrait Gallery, Corpus Christi, Cambridge, The Ashmolean, Cambridge University and Royal Museums Greenwich.

At first glance, it may seem that artefacts belonging to Sir Nicholas Bacon may have limited relevance or resonance to Sir Francis Bacon or to the modern world. In actual fact we all have much to owe to Sir Nicholas Bacon, Elizabeth I’s solid and wise Lord Keeper with his unswerving dedication to duty and service to both his family and to his country at a most critical period in history. Dedicated to learning, Sir Nicholas was a towering, generous statesman and a great agent for lasting change. To his family and particularly his youngest son Francis, he was a much loved and admired father, and an inspiration and role model, who contributed massively along with Lady Anne Bacon to the extraordinary man Francis Bacon became.

Visible Remains was developed from a series of research findings posted on the SirBacon.org discussion forum over many months. The project began as a series of regular newsletter articles published by the Francis Bacon Society, with the idea of collating them for this year’s Baconiana.

The False And Misleading Claims By Professor Stanley Wells That Three Pieces Of Contemporary Evidence Firmly Links William Shaksper Of Stratford To Shakespeare

by A. Phoenix.

From his student graduate days Professor Stanley Wells steadily rose through the Stratfordian ranks to eventually replace his veritable hero Samuel Schoenbaum as Mr Shakespeare. Wells joined the Shakespeare Institute at Stratford in 1959 beginning his long association with the Royal Shakespeare Company, later serving as its director and vice-chairman of the governors. The Shakespeare Institute forms part of the University of Birmingham where he taught at undergraduate and graduate level allowing him to undertake research and publish his first work the Royal Shakespeare.

Sir Francis Bacon and Freemasonry

www.TheSquareMagazine.com/mag/article/2024q4sir-francis-bacon-freemasonry/

The deep connections between Francis Bacon (1561-1626) and Freemasonry is hardly surprising given that Lord Bacon’s writings convey the Freemasonic principles of Love and Charity together with the four cardinal virtues of Fortitude, Prudence, Temperance and Justice that guide the life and thought of all Freemasons around the world.

Secret Hidden References and Allusions to Bacon and the Bacon Family in the 1623 Shakespeare First Folio

by A. Phoenix.

It is true there be some affairs which require extreme secrecy.

[Francis Bacon, Of Counsel: Spedding, Works, VI, p. 425]

In addition to all the above cryptic devices secretly inserted by Bacon in the Shakespeare First Folio there are also many remarkable and astonishing references and allusions to himself and members of the Bacon family, which for four hundred years have remained unfamiliar or unknown to the ordinary schoolmen, the casual student, and effectively the rest of the world.

Francis Bacon, Titus, Andronicus & Bacon’s Shakespeare Quartos Discovered at the Bacon Gorhambury Estate

by A. Phoenix.

During the period Bacon was writing his first Shakespeare tetralogy (I Henry VI, 2 Henry VI, 3 Henry VI and Richard III) he also composed his Roman history of Titus Andronicus. It has been said by many orthodox scholars that Titus Andronicus is the first of the Shakespeare plays, and whether it is actually the first, it is certainly one of the earliest. Its exact date of composition is unknown. Various dates have been suggested generally ranging from 1588 through to 1594, the date of the publication of its first quarto published under the title The Most Lamentable Romaine Tragedie of Titus Andronicus, that according to its title page was performed by three different playing companies ‘the Right Honourable the Earle of Darbie, Earl of Pembrooke, and the Earle of Sussex their Seruants’. Only one copy of the 1594 quarto is known to exist (it was first discovered in Sweden in 1904) which now resides in the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington. A few years later, in 1909 a rare copy of the third quarto of Titus Andronicus was found among eight Shakespeare quartos at the Bacon family estate at Gorhambury most likely transferred from Bacon’s personal library in the old Gorhambury House, which were transferred for safe-keeping into the care of Bodleian Library, where they still remain to the present day.2 Could you imagine the headlines around the world if eight Shakespeare quartos were discovered in the house of Shakspere of Stratford or one of his relatives or descendants!

Follow Up on the Flawed Six Signatures of William Shakspere of Stratford

by A. Phoenix.

The British lawyer and voluminous Baconian writer Sir Edwin Durning-Lawrence who was very familiar with legal documents and wills subjected the Shakspere will and the other three signatures (the ‘signature’ in the Bellot v Mountjoy case was dealt with in his Postscriptum) to a close examination. With the permission of the Corporation of London the intrepid Durning- Lawrence arranged for the Librarian and the Chairman of the Library Committee to transfer the Purchase Deed to the British Museum to place it side by side with the Mortgage Deed:

After they had with myself and the Museum Authorities most carefully examined the two deeds, the Librarian of the City Corporation said to me, there is no reason to suppose that the Corporation deed has upon it the signature of Wm. Shakespeare, and the British Museum Authorities likewise told me that they did not think that the Museum Mortgage Deed had upon it a signature of William Shakespeare. The more you examine the whole five the more you will be certain, as the writer is, after the most careful study of the Will and of the Deeds, that not one of the five writings is a “signature,” or pretends to be a “signature,” and that therefore there is a probability, practically amounting to a certainty, that the Stratford Actor could not so much as manage to scrawl his own name.

Michael Blanding, The North Delusion, and his Ignorance about the Life and Writings of Francis Bacon and his Authorship of the Shakespeare Works

by A. Phoenix.

In the last few years the self-taught scholar Dennis McCarthy has received an enormous amount of publicity through his work recently republished in paperback with the dubious title Thomas North: The Original Author of Shakespeare’s Plays which ‘has garnered worldwide attention (including coverage in The New York Times, The Guardian, Time Magazine, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe Magazine, U.S. News, etc).’. The central contention of his celebrated book is that Thomas North (1535-1603), the supposed translator of Plutarch’s Lives, wrote more than thirty plays largely for the Earl of Leicester’s acting company, which were later adapted and reworked by William Shakespeare (i.e., William Shakspere of Stratford) in the 1590s and early 1600s.

The Six So-Called Signatures of William Shakspere of Stratford and ‘Hand D’ in the Manuscript of the Shakespeare Play Sir Thomas More Written by Francis Bacon

by A. Phoenix.

The complex manuscript of Sir Thomas More written by Bacon was produced in his literary workshop in a process that saw him direct its various scribes and copyists as it evolved over a period of many years which accounts to a large extent for its complicated state. The so-called Original Text comprising sixteen leaves is a fair copy or transcription of his manuscript (‘foul papers’) or a copy of the complete play as he initially first conceived it. The Additions some directly dictated by Bacon to his scribes and the copyists working from earlier drafts required later revisions and amendments and other forms of authorial and editorial intervention.

Some aspects of the seemingly impenetrable and intractable problems the manuscript gives rise to may never be fully or satisfactorily resolved. Most importantly, however, more than four hundred years after its original composition the overwhelming and irrefutable evidence much of it produced here for the first time confirms beyond any doubt that the Shakespeare play Sir Thomas More was written by Francis Bacon our secret Shakespeare.

The Story of Magic by Frank B. Rowlett (with a Foreword and Epilogue by David Kahn) the most Decorated Cipher Expert with Friedman in US History Secretly Reveals Bacon is Shakespeare

In recent times a very substantial body of academic literature has been produced by critics and commentators surrounding the subject of Shakespeare and anagrams.1 In the words of Professor Fowler in his own influential Literary Names Personal Names in English Literature (Oxford University Press, 2012) ‘Shakespeare’s many anagrams in the Sonnets (1609) were lost from view for centuries until R. H. Winnick’s closely argued article (2009) startled the scholarly world’ in which he revealed ‘embedded letter anagrams on WRIOTHESLEY’. Read more >>

The National Security Agency (NSA) the Most Secretive Arm of US Intelligence (Codes and Ciphers) and the Plaque awarded to Colonel Fabyan and his Riverbank Cipher Department which Contains Ciphers Revealing Francis Bacon, Brother of the Rosy Cross, is Shakespeare

The all-seeing National Security Agency (NSA), the most secretive arm of US Intelligence has developed into the most complex and comprehensive world-wide signal intelligence operation the world has ever seen. It has taken cipher and codebreaking to almost undreamed levels of supercomputer driven technical dominance and through its BRUSA Agreement (Britain-United States Agreement) to facilitate co-operation between US Intelligence and GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) and UKUSA (United Kingdom and United States of America Agreement) that also includes cooperation in Signals Intelligence (codes and ciphers) between Cananda, Australia and New Zealand, the full extent of its technical mastery over all mediums of communication around the globe, is only truly known to the invisible powers who secretly control and direct its operations.

British Intelligence and Bacon’s Bi-literal Cipher Revealing his Secret Story

Around the time General Cartier was endorsing Mrs Gallup’s bi-literal cipher decipherments in a series of articles in French periodicals, an article appeared in the now obscure and defunct Cassell’s Weekly apparently written by a British intelligence officer who had secretly operated in France throughout the first World War at GHQ. The virtually unknown article fortuitously appeared exactly three hundred years after the publication of the 1623 Shakespeare First Folio in the May edition of 1923. Read more >>
