Yet Another Alignment from The Anatomy of Melancholy

Since I posted my last post, I noticed yet another alignment from the first clue I posted from the "Maniac" on the frontispiece of The Anatomy of Melancholy.  I just shifted the letter "p" from above to below the letters "Ed."  (The letters are indicated by the right hand and left foot of the "Maniac.")  I have posted the images below.  The result is again "Bacon" or "by the Author, Bacon."  Now, I have shown three alignments based on the clues given by the one alignment of the illustration of the "Maniac."  In every case, the message is:

 "By the Author, Bacon."

So, the result is a now even more difficult to ignore.

Another Alignment from the Frontispiece of The Anatomy of Melancholy

Today, I reexamined last post about the frontispiece of The Anatomy of Melancholy and I noticed another alignment with other foot and hand of the "Maniac."  I have posted the images below.  The result is again "Bacon" or "by the Author, Bacon."  Now, I have shown two alignments based on the clues given by the one alignment of the illustration of the "Maniac."  In both cases, the message is:

 "By the Author, Bacon."

So, the result is a little more difficult to ignore.

Francis Bacon as the Author of Anatomy of Melancholy

The Anatomy of Melancholy (full title: The Anatomy of Melancholy, What it is: With all the Kinds, Causes, Symptomes, Prognostickes, and Several Cures of it. In Three Maine Partitions with their several Sections, Members, and Subsections. Philosophically, Medicinally, Historically, Opened and Cut Up) is a book by Robert Burton first published in 1621.  

Some have noticed that there are some similarities between the writings of Francis Bacon and what appears in The Anatomy of Melancholy. For example, see the Baconian Reference Book by Lochithea (see here at pg. 192: http://www.fbrt.org.uk/pages/essays/baconian_reference_book_archive.pdf).

I decided to examine the frontispiece of The Anatomy of Melancholy, and after some trial and error, I decided to try to line-up some the symbols on the page.  (I don't know what they all symbolize.) My results are shown below.  This is a copy of the Third Edition copy.  I think I downloaded it from Archive.org, but I am not sure.  The copy has a stamp showing it is the copy in the possession of the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda, Maryland.

On the frontispiece, there is something like a "h" symbol in two of the little illustrations (I found out that is the symbol for the planet Saturn), so I lined them up.  I notice the hand and foot of the "Maniac" lined up with letters in the area of the title.  He seems to pick the letter "p"out of the middle of the word "Philosophically" and his foot rests on the "Ed" in the word "Edition."  I highlighted the letters in red and then I lined them up in another overlay.  The name "BACON" appears in an alignment of letters running through the word "Author."  So, it seems Francis Bacon may in fact be the author of The Anatomy of Melancholy.

Also notice that in the first alignment of the letter "h", the image of the king lines up with the image of the writer Democritus with a book.  Interesting.

 

I also discovered that the poem describing the images on the frontispiece contains clues to discover the aligns shown below.  See this post: https://hiddenmessagesinshakespeare.blogspot.com/2015/05/clue-from-argument-of-frontispiece-of.html.

Christopher Marlowe -- The "Concealed Man" in As You Like It

I know I have not posted in awhile.  The reason is simple--I took a break to have some fun.  I started doing some more work the last few days.  I think I will return to working on The Tempest.

Today I will post an overlay that is interesting, but I am not completely confident about.  I tried some overlays of page 196 of As You Like It and found the overlay shown below.  My hypothesis is that As You Like It contains hidden messages about Christopher Marlowe.  More specifically, my hypothesis is that Marlowe was murdered and the play explains why and who did it.  I have not worked out all the messages.  Here is the overlay:

I used the clue "take the Corke our of thy mouth" (from the lower left-hand column) and found that the "concealed man" being discussed may be Christopher Marlowe.
