56) Bacon—nocab, a hogge, his name
If you’ve read the earlier pages of Fun with Baconian Ciphers, you would notice that on page 91 where I list the cipher candidates found in the Shakespeare plays, that there was no candidate listed for A Midsommer Night’s Dreame. So it was a nice surprise to see another Baconian cipher researcher, Frode Larsen, make the following discovery. I like it because, like many of the others, it has multiple parts working together that, in all, I think would be beyond chance. First, there is the teaser regarding a focus on ‘his name’ with added emphasis in the phrase ‘and there indeed let him name his name’. Second is the connected word ‘hit’, which as has been shown earlier, could be an alternate spelling of ‘hid’. Third there is the name of Bacon which is spelled backward and with alternating letters in the short phrase ‘into a chamber’. There is also directly above this the word ‘two’ which could signify that the cipher researcher should be aware of this aspect to a nearby cipher. Finally, directly across from the hidden name is the word ‘A hogge’ and this also has been connected to an earlier identity reference, not to mention that a hog is in Bacon’s coat of arms. Frode has some other ideas about this cipher that can be found on his youtube presentation at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOreJKKkUeg&feature=youtu.be
