By 1623 Sir Francis had been building his cryptographic labyrinth for more than twenty years, still with no sign that even its shallow layers had yet been penetrated (decoded). In five places in the First Folio he secreted a final set of clues, encoded with the Biliteral Code of his invention. The final clues are concealed within standalone packages of literary rubbish;

scholars seem baffled by their inclusion into the timeless masterpiece of the First Folio. The texts may have had their genesis in dregs he rescued from his wastebasket at Gorhambury. But they were readily ‘insertable’ into the existing text without widespread re-engineering of the surrounding text which hosts his epically interconnected multiple Cipher Methods.

Headings of Comedies				Fr. Bacon is the author, unknown among men as such. He in this way, and in his Cypher workes, gives full directions, in a great many places, for finding and unfolding of severall weightie secrets, hidden from those who would persecute the betrayer, yes, even take a person’s life. Then take care that he be not endangered by your zeal. Reade easy lessons first, and forsooth the Absey (ABC) in the Life and Death of King John, act one, is a good one; it shewes the entrance to a labyrinth. Court Time, a sure leader, and proceed to his Alphabet of Nature. Learne well two portions, Masses, and the Rule, Search this out. — F. B.

The Monographs are often bizarre and inexplicable. It looks as though the decoding was made at great expense, and special fold-out pages were included to present what the decoded messages actually say; but then, what went to press had blurring and smudging to make the decoded messages unreadable.

Notes for this page:

While the official date of publication is given 1916, most if not all the decoding work was performed by Elizabeth Well Gallup as much 20 years earlier.
