Many people who are unfamiliar with Baconian research seem to believe that the Baconian evidence for Francis Bacon writing the Shakespeare works is all based on various cipher and code evidence of differing and various complexities. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Here are six pieces of documentary evidence that are not based on ciphers, codes or anagrams and everything to do with hard, primary documentary evidence that firmly links Francis Bacon to the Shakespeare Works.
1] FRANCIS BACON'S PRIVATE NOTEBOOK THE PROMUS OF FORMULARIES AND ELEGANCIES A MAJOR SOURCE FOR HIS SHAKESPEARE POEMS AND PLAYS
2] FRANCIS BACON'S OWN COLLECTION OF MSS KNOWN AS THE NORTHUMBERLAND MANUSCRIPT ORIGINALLY CONTAINING HIS TWO SHAKESPEARE PLAYS RICHARD II AND RICHARD III
3] FRANCIS BACON AND HIS UNIQUE COPY OF THE 1587 EDITION OF HOLINSHED'S CHRONICLES WITH MARGINAL ANNOTATION IN HIS OWN HAND ALONGSIDE PASSAGES USED FOR HIS SHAKESPEARE PLAYS. THE SMOKING GUN OF THE TRUE AUTHORSHIP OF THE SHAKESPEARE WORKS
4] THE SO-CALLED 'DERING' MANUSCRIPT OF HENRY VI THE UNIQUE AND EARLIEST KNOWN SHAKESPEARE MANUSCRIPT (C. 1596) ORIGINATING FROM BACON'S LITERARY WORKSHOP AND CORRECTED IN HIS OWN HAND
5] THE 1623 SHAKESPEARE FIRST FOLIO
6] THE MEMORIAE HONORATISSIMI DOMINI FRANCISCI, BARONIS DE VERULAMIO, VICE-COMITIS SANCTI ALBANI SACRUM (1626) CONTAINING 32 LATIN VERSES CRYPTICALLY CONVEYING BACON IS SHAKESPEARE
