Introduction.

The pre-eminent Shakespeare scholar, S. Schoenbaum, wrote in a major work on the Stratfordian that it was difficult to distinguish between myth and (possible) reality in the tales told in Elizabethan England about the (possibly) archetypal character known as Robert Greene.

This explains the title of my following working note.

By use of the Saga Cipher Key, which I discovered in Reykholtsmáldagi in the late 1970s, the Robert Green mystery is shown to have been an integral part of the wider Shakespeare mystery – the existence of which contemporary Stratfordians make believe does not exist.

When the Robert Greene mystery is resolved and put in context, a large number of other previously unknown or disputed issues are similarly resolved.

Chief among these is the unveiling of a cooperative task between the Seventeenth Earl of Oxford as „the“ original Shakespeare, who passed on his „Shakespeare“ works to Francis Bacon (Cosen Bacon) and Seriant Harris, whose Cipher value, 7347, reveals this otherwise unknown figure to be (nom de plume for Our Ever-living Poet, 10347, of the Dedication of Shakespeare’s Sonnets.

In the context of myth, this identification of Seriant Harris is derived from the Cipher relationship 7347 – 1000 + 4000 = 10347.

This is Cipher „shorthand“ for Our Ever-living Poet working hand-in-hand with Francis Bacon in secret/darkness, – 1000, until Time of the End, when a Flaming Sword, 4000, „shines forth“ as in 7347 – 1000 + 4000 = 10347, and sets The Globe on fire.

For the sake of clarity of presentation, I have left out all but essential explanatory text, but students of Shakespeare should be familiar with most or all of the various parts of the written record which Our Ever-living Poet (Spiritus Sanctus) has woven into a veritable Darraðarvef.

This material is based on research carried out over four decades. For new readers of what Snorri Sturluson called „hidden poetry“, assimilating this material should ideally be a two-stage affair.

A quick read-through to get a feel for an unfamiliar mode of expression before readers sit back to reflect on the overall theme which is being presented in the number-symbolic tradition associated with Pythagoras.
