¹ I extracted the Saga Cipher Key some 40 years ago from the first 22 words of a single sentence in the oldest extant Icelandic skin manuscript – a single sheet of calf skin.

The manuscript purports to list assets of the Church at Reykholt – Snorri Sturluson’s estate where he lived, worked, and was murdered on September 23, 1241. The sentence in question reads as follows:

Skrín þat es stendr á altara meþ helgo domo gefa þeir Magn oc Snorre at helfninge hvar þeirra oc es þetta kirkio fé umb fram of þat es áþr es talet.

(Translation: The shrine which stands on altar with holy relics is given by Magnus and Snorri, one-half each of them, and is this church treasure additional to that which is counted earlier.)

Saga-Shakespeare Cipher Key

A = 73; B = 116; C = K; D/Ð = 225; E = 228; F = 285; G = 325; H = 376; I/J/Y = 425; K = 449; L = 504; M = 542; N = 569; O = 660; P = 683; Q = 770; R = 821; S = 896; T/Þ = 923; U/V = 949; X = 1018; Z = 1094; W = V + V, and Æ = A + E.  The Cipher Values of accented vowels (Icelandic and French) are identical to those of the vowels themselves.
In addition, fixed numerical values attach to certain concepts such as Man of Seventh Day, 7, Right Measure of Man, 432, and its counterpart Man-Beast, 666, Light, 1000, Darkness, – 1000, Brownswerd, – 4000, Flaming Sword, 4000, Pythagorean Triangle 3:4:5 (345), the letter ‘c’ when used to denote The End as in „&c.“, 100.

* And now the measure of my song is done:

The work has reached its end; the book is mine,

None shall unwrite these words: nor angry Jove,

Nor war, nor fire, nor flood,

Nor venomous time that eats our lives away.

Then let that morning come, as come it will,

When this disguise I carry shall be no more,

And all the treacherous years of life undone,

And yet my name shall rise to heavenly music,

The deathless music of the circling stars.

As long as Rome is the Eternal City

These lines shall echo from the lips of men,

As long as poetry speaks truth on earth,

That immortality is mine to wear.
