¹ Abomination of Desolation

From message posted to friends on 26 February 2014:

While in Iceland last August, I met with Pétur Halldórsson at the Cafe Milano in Reykjavík. We discussed matters of mutual interest, including what my Saga Cipher work might possibly “mean“.

I took a napkin and, for emphasis, wrote down the number 438097. This is the Cipher Sum of some three dozen names of persons, institutions, dates and events during the reference period, including two famous murder cases, a sex scandal in high places, and presumptive lies told in connection therewith.

I told Pétur (what I had long surmised) that I believed that this number was associated with a watershed event in human history whose final phase was upon our world.

An earth-shaking culmination of human and spiritual evolution.

Like a balanced wheel rotated evenly,

By the Love that moves the sun and the other stars.

‘Grass Conceals And Rain Blots Out’

In the Père-Lachaise cemetery, in the neighborhood of the potters’ field, far from the elegant quarter of that city of sepulchers, far from all those fantastic tombs that display in presence of eternity the hideous fashions of death, in a deserted corner, beside an old wall, beneath a great yew on which the bindweed climbs, among the dog-grass and the mosses, there is a stone. This stone is exempt no more than the rest from the leprosy of time, from the mold, the lichen, and the birds’ droppings. The air turns it black, the water green. It is near no path, and people do not like to go in that direction, because the grass is high, and they would wet their feet. All around there is a rustling of wild oats. In spring, the linnets come to sing in the tree.

This stone is entirely blank. The only thought in cutting it was of the essentials of the grave, and there was no other care than to make this stone long enough and narrow enough to cover a man.

No name can be read there.

Only many years ago, a hand wrote on it in pencil these four lines, which have gradually become illegible under the rain and the dust, and are probably gone by now:

23994 = Il dort. Quoique le sort fût pour lui bien étrange.

22982 = Il vivait. Il mourut quand il n’eut plus son ange.

He lived, and when he lost his angel, died.

IV. Francis Bacon’s Last Letter

(Easter Week, 1626)

526846

Every schoolboy knows the story told in their history books how Francis Bacon one snowy day on or about All Fools Day, 1 April 1626, drove with the King’s Physician, Sir John Wedderburn, to Highgate and that at the foot of the Hill he stopped, bought a fowl, and stuffed it with snow with his own hands in order to ascertain whether bodies could be preserved by cold. During the procedure, we are told, he caught a chill, and instead of Dr. Wedderburn driving him back to Gray’s Inn (whence he had come) or taking him to some warm house, the worthy doctor took him to an empty summer mansion on Highgate Hill, Arundel House, where there was only a caretaker; and there Francis Bacon was put into a bed which was damp and had only been „warmed by a Panne“ (a very strange thing for a doctor to do) with the result that within a few days he died of pneumonia. Dr. Rawley, his chaplain, says that he died „in the early morning of the 9^th April, a day on which was COMMEMORATED the Resurrection of Our Saviour“.

That is the story and this is [Francis Bacon’s last letter]:

14285 = To the Earle of Arundel and Surrey.

7470 = My very good Lord:

27393 = I was likely to have had the fortune of Caius Plinius the Elder,

20866 = as I knew not whether it were the stone,

24599 = or some surfeit of cold, or indeed a touch of them all three.

10541 = to take up my lodging here,

27187 = where your housekeeper is very careful and diligent about me;

24956 = your Lordship will not only pardon towards him,

14898 = but think the better of him for it.

21030 = For indeed your Lordship’s house is happy to me;

18831 = and I kiss your noble hands for the welcome

15120 = which I am sure you give me to it.

32508 = but in troth my fingers are so disjointed with this fit of sickness,

12980 = that I cannot steadily hold a pen…

Here the letter ends abruptly. Whatever else was written has been suppressed by Sir Tobie Matthew, one of the Rosicrosse, on which Spedding remarks, „It is a great pity the editor did not think fit to print the whole.“ For some mysterious reason the letter was not printed until 1660 in Matthew’s Collection, captioned „This was the last letter that he ever wrote.” (Alfred Dodd, Francis Bacon’s Personal Life-Story, Rider & Co, London, 1986, pp. 539-540.)

¹ Synopsis: Jón murtr (Little John) is son of Snorri Sturluson. At a Christmas feast with the King of Norway, he and his brother-in-law Gizurr got ”very drunk” and went to sleep in a dark loft where their beds had not been made ready. When household servants brought light up into the loft, Jón murtr became agitated and chastised them. There ensued a fight involving Jón and another Icelander, Ólafr, at the end of which Jón was struck in the head with a hand-axe. The wound was not a major one, but one thing led to another such that Jón died shortly thereafter. He was buried at Christ’s Church. His things were brought to Iceland next summer by his Gizurr.

² The Latin text and translation of the lines from Virgil’s Fourth Eclogue are as follows>

Ultima Cumaei venit iam carminis aetas;

Magnus ab integro saeclorum nascitur ordo.

iam redit et Virgo, redeunt Saturnia regna,

iam nova progenies caelo demittitur alto.

Now comes the final era of the Sibyl’s song;

The great order of the ages is born afresh.

And now justice returns, honored rules return;

Now a new lineage is sent down from high heaven.

³Loose translation: Gizurr came to Reykjaholt the night after Mauritius Mass. They broke open the storehouse where Snorri slept. But he jumped up and out of the storehouse to the small houses next to the storehouse. There he found Arnbjörn priest and talked to him. They agreed that Snorri should go into the cellar which was under the ceiling in the houses. Gizurr and his men began searching for Snorri around the houses. Gizurr then found Arnbjörn priest and asked where Snorri was. He said he knew not. Gizurr said that they could not be reconciled if they did not meet. The priest said that perhaps he might be found if he was promised that his life would be spared. Thereafter they became aware of where Snorri was. And they walked into the cellar, Markús Marðarson, Símon knútr, Árni beiskr, Þorsteinn Guðinason, Þórarinn Ásgrímsson. Símon knútr asked Árni to strike him. “Do not strike,” said Snorri. “Thou shalt strike,” said Símon. “Do not strike,” said Snorri. After that Árni inflicted a mortal wound on him, and he and Þorsteinn finished him off.

Background

Exact measurements of the Great Pyramid were first made by W.M. Flinders Petrie, and published in 1883 by the Royal society in his book, “The Pyramids and Temples of Gizeh”. The Great Pyramid was professionally surveyed by J.H. Cole, and the measurements were published in his “Determination of the Exact Size and Orientation of the Great Pyramid”, published by Government Press, Cairo, 1925. Many of these measurements were subsequently recorded in “The Great Pyramid Decoded”, by Peter Lemesurier, 1977. (Wikipedia)

The Royal Society – Nullius in verba

(https://royalsociety.org/about-us/history/)

The very first ‘learned society’ meeting on 28 November 1660 followed a lecture at Gresham College by Christopher Wren. Joined by other leading polymaths including Robert Boyle and John Wilkins, the group soon received royal approval, and from 1663 it would be known as ‚The Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge‘.

The Royal Society‘s motto ‚Nullius in verba‘ is taken to mean ‚take nobody‘s word for it‘. It is an expression of the determination of Fellows to withstand the domination of authority and to verify all statements by an appeal to facts determined by experiment.

¹ Abomination of Desolation

From message posted to friends on 26 February 2014:

While in Iceland last August, I met with Pétur Halldórsson at the Cafe Milano in Reykjavík. We discussed matters of mutual interest, including what my Saga Cipher work might possibly “mean“.

I took a napkin and, for emphasis, wrote down the number 438097. This is the Cipher Sum of some three dozen names of persons, institutions, dates and events during the reference period, including two famous murder cases, a sex scandal in high places, and presumptive lies told in connection therewith.

I told Pétur (what I had long surmised) that I believed that this number was associated with a watershed event in human history whose final phase was upon our world.

An earth-shaking culmination of human and spiritual evolution.

Foreword

The Dedication of the first published work of William Shakespeare, Venus and Adonis, was Alpha to the Shakespeare Opus whose Omega was Ben Jonson’s verse on the first page of the First Folio, facing the page with the “picture” of Shakespeare. The Cipher Values of Alpha and Omega so defined and their Sum are 378541 + 164001 = 542542.

This Cipher Sum identifies the Shakespeare Opus as the crowning achievement of the – by now – 2000 years old Augustan-Saga-Shakespeare Opus of enciphered Pythagorean Creation Myth as reflected in a set of Cipher Values whose Cipher Sum is ONE with that of the Shakespeare Opus alone, as in the 262982 + 129308 + 133709 + 2131 + 3635 + 4000 + 6677 + 100 = 16543, as in 525999 + 16543 = 542542.

¹I have created a monument more lasting than bronze and loftier than the royal pyramids, a monument which neither the biting rain nor the raging North Wind can destroy, nor can the countless years and the passing of the seasons.  I will not entirely die and a great part of me will avoid Libitina, the goddess of Death; I will grow greater and greater in times to come, kept fresh by praise.  So long as the high priest climbs the stairs of the Capitolium, accompanied by the silent Vestal Virgin, I, now powerful but from humble origins, will be said to be the first to have brought Aeolian song to Latin meter where the raging Aufidius roars and where parched Daunus ruled over the country folk.  Embrace my pride, deservedly earned, Muse, and willingly crown me with Apollo’s laurel.

²Thereupon Gangleri heard great noises on every side of him; and then, when he had looked about him more, lo, he stood out of doors on a level plain, and saw no hall there and no castle. Then he went his way forth and came home into his kingdom, and told those tidings which he had seen and heard; and after him each man told these tales to the other.

Prologue

Archetypal Robert Greene

(S. Schoenbaum)

With [Robert] Greene we cannot always separate fact from fiction in the fantasias he composed on autobiographical themes, or the legend made of him by his contemporaries.  The pattern of his life – necessarily pieced together from the testimony of biased witnesses – assumes the lineaments of archetype.

[…]

[One] evening he over-indulged in Rhenish wine and pickled herrings, and this excess brought on his last illness.  He was then lodged with his mistress, ‘a sorry ragged quean’, and their bastard in the house of a shoemaker of Dowgate, one Isam, and his wife.  For a month Greene lingered in squalor, deserted by friends but attended by a troop of lice.  Mrs. Isam gave him the penny-pot of malmsey he pitifully begged, while Gabriel Harvey exulted in the downfall of the wicked:

A rakehell, a makeshift, a scribbling fool:

A famous bayard in city, and school.

Now sick as a dog, and ever brainsick:

Where such a raving and desperate Dick?

Between prayers Greene scribbled his last confessions, and near the end wrote piteously to his cast-off Dorothea, asking her to forgive him and pay the ten pounds he owed his host.  When he died, Mrs. Isam crowned him with a garland of bays, in accordance with his last wish.  Before the year was out the bookstalls of St. Paul’s Churchyard displayed The Repentance of Robert Greene, Master of Arts and Greene’s Groatsworth of Wit, bought with a million of Repentance.  Decribing the folly of youth, the falsehood of makeshift flatterers, the misery of the negligent, and mischiefs of deceiving Courtesans.  Written before his death and published at his dying request.

Thus lived and died Robert Greene, the saddler’s son who would not willingly let the world forget that he was a Master of Arts.  His progress furnishes a direct antithesis to that of the glover’s son from Stratford who never proceeded beyond grammar school.  But Greene’s career holds more than an exemplary interest.  In the Groatsworth of Wit he makes the first unmistakable reference we have to Shakespeare in London. […]

Yet the Groatsworth of Wit contains – no question – a desperate shaft directed at Shakespeare.  The author hurls it later, after having abandoned any pretence at fiction; he speaks as Greene, offering, while life still beats, the bitter wisdom of experience.  […] (William Shakespeare – A Compact Documentary Life, Oxford University Paperback, 1978, pp. 147-151)

Prologue

The Horace Howard Furness Shakespeare Collection at the Schoenberg Center for Electronic Text & Image at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries has been an invaluable resource over the years for my research on the Shakespeare Opus and the King James Bible.

Today, I found out that the Collection lists a book by Nicholas Rowe with the intriguing title, The Tragedy of Jane Shore – Written in Imitation of Shakespear‘s style.

When read Shakespeare-style, the book provides authoritative confirmation of Henry James‘ conviction that “the divine William was the biggest and most successful fraud ever practiced on a patient world.“

For Rowe “documents“ through the Cipher Sum of the Alpha and Omega parts of the book‘s Dedication that, as I concluded many years ago, the Shakespeare Opus was the work of three main authors:

Edward Oxenford – Francis Bacon – Ben Jonson

¹And 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.
