NB. The Circumference of a Circle of Radius 339999 is shown here as 2,137,137.

The correct value of this reference magnitude is 2,136,277 and other parts of the presentation need to be reviewed in light thereof.

Foreword

During the reign of Saxon King Athelstan of England (920-940 A.D.) the law of the land spelled out the size of the King’s holy verge, as defined from its center in terms of 6 different units of measurement as follows: 3 miles, 3 furlongs, 9 acres, 9 feet, 9 palms, 9 barley corns.

Pétur Halldórsson, a long-time colleague and student of Saga myth, mentioned this law in a Facebook entry yesterday. I had come across it many years ago but now it occurred to me to construe this curious bit of information as an allusion to the length of a circle’s radius of 339999 units of measurement.

In the context of Saga-Shakespeare Myth, the Cosmos is defined in terms of the Zodiac above and its projection on Land below. Thus the size of the diameter of such a circular projection would be double the radius or  679998 units of measurement.

The Circumference – 2πr – of a Circle of Radius 339999 is 2,137,137 and ”union” of its Diameter and Circumference – in Hamlet’s “consummation devoutly to be wish’d” – is 679998 + 2137137 = 2817135.

33170 = discloses and sets forth that philosophy which by the legitimate, chaste,

28160 = and severe course of inquiry which I have explained and provided

14929 = is at length developed and established.

20791 = The completion, however, of this last part

21041 = is a thing both above my strength and beyond my hopes.

13043 = I have made a beginning of the work —

16254 = a beginning, as I hope, not unimportant:

22693 = the fortune of the human race will give the issue,

9438 = such an issue, it may be,

22961 = as in the present condition of things and men‘s minds

14613 = cannot easily be conceived or imagined.

24377 = For the matter in hand is no mere felicity of speculation,

22866 = but the real business and fortunes of the human race,

12225 = and all power of operation.

24290 = For man is but the servant and interpreter of nature:

15096 = what he does and what he knows

30711 = is only what he has observed of nature‘s order in fact or in thought;

20456 = beyond this he knows nothing and can do nothing.

24756 = For the chain of causes cannot by any force be loosed or broken,

18176 = nor can nature be commanded except by being obeyed.

28279 = And so those twin objects, human knowledge and human power,

7812 = do really meet in one;

23919 = and it is from ignorance of causes that operation fails.

28948 = And all depends on keeping the eye steadily fixed upon the facts of nature

19622 = and so receiving their images simply as they are.

17998 = For God forbid that we should give out

26112 = a dream of our own imagination for a pattern of the world;

27746 = rather may he graciously grant to us to write an apocalypse

36554 = or true vision of the footsteps of the Creator imprinted on his creatures.

11729 = Therefore do thou, O Father,

29189 = who gavest the visible light as the first fruits of creation,

23953 = and didst breathe into the face of man the intellectual light

32933 = as the crown and consummation thereof, guard and protect this work,

26865 = which coming from thy goodness returneth to thy glory.

36518 = Thou when thou turnedst to look upon the works which thy hands had made,

28981 = sawest that all was very good, and didst rest from thy labors.

31736 = But man, when he turned to look upon the work which his hands had made,

36129 = saw that all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and could find no rest therein.

34930 = Wherefore if we labor in thy works with the sweat of our brows,

26519 = thou wilt make us partakers of thy vision and thy sabbath.

22461 = Humbly we pray that this mind may be steadfast in us,

14812 = and that through these our hands,

29068 = and the hands of others to whom thou shall give the same spirit,

32882 = thou wilt vouchsafe to endow the human family with new mercies.
