-24-
The first
thing we want to establish is that the word, for whatever reason, had some
fascination to Bacon, who seems to have played with it to see if it could show
an abbreviated anagram form of his name. This can be seen here though it’s not
really what should interest us
So the long
word is well connected to both Bacon and Shakespeare and in Shakespeare’s play
it has a simple count of 287. The word in its previous forms did not have the
same spelling so possibly it was modified for the play so that its numerical
count would equal 287. This suspicion only takes on some meaning if the 287
count does appear to be significant to both Bacon and Shakespeare.
2) The Secret Shakspearean Seals authors found this number in a few interesting
ways in SHAKE-SPEARES SONNETS of
1609. On the page of the last Sonnet (#154) we have at the top of the page the
word “SONNETS” which has a Kay alphabet value of 126, which together with the
sonnet # of 154 and the seven large letters below the sonnet adds to 287. But
maybe that seems like playing around with the possibilities too much. So in
addition, the Kay value of the word “Finis” is equal to 133, which together
with the Sonnet # 154 = 287. But why use the Kay alphabet? Perhaps this is
hinted at with the two large letters beneath all else which are the letters ‘K’
and, separated from this, the letter ‘A’, possibly to suggest that K is in the
place of A for this code. Letters are often used at the bottom of pages but
these are extra large. This could, of course, just be all a coincidence, but it
has the appearance of intention. Here is the page with the last sonnet:
