Baconian
Evidence
1. Northumberland Manuscript. The only contemporary document bearing
the names of Shakespeare and Bacon and the titles of two Shakespeare plays,
Richard II and Richard III, listed under the words, 'by Francis William Shakespeare'.
In the line above, 'essaies by the same author'. The long word in Love's Labour's
Lost also appears in the Northumberland Manuscript. Above the word 'Francis'
can been seen, upside down, 'your soveraign.'
2. The only Shakespeare notebook, a collection of expressions, phrases,
and sentences, many of which appear in the Shakespeare plays. This is the
Promus, written by Francis Bacon. This notebook has not been mentioned by
a single Shakespeare biographer.
3. The Manes Verulamiani, a collection of obituary poems written in
honor of Bacon by his friends, in Latin, some of which quote the expressions
used on the Shakespeare monument in the Stratford church. One of these poems
praises Bacon for his comedies and tragedies.
4. The St.Albans Mural, in the White Hart Inn, dated 1600 showing scenes
from Venus and Adonis. At least six details have been found which link
this large painting with Bacon, his nearby house at Gorhambury, the Rosicrucians,
led by Bacon, and the Shakespeare plays. If this mural had been discovered
in Stratford, or Bankside, it would have been mentioned in all books on the
life of Shakespeare since its discovery in 1985. It has not been mentioned
once.
5. Bacon's royal parentage, the reason for his anonymity as author.
Also, one of the six rules imposed on members of the Rosicrucian order, was
anonymity for a hundred years.
6. Bacon's knowledge of Hermetic, Rosicrucian, Neoplatonic and Cabbalistic
teaching. Rosicrucian themes are found in:
Bacon's New Atlantis
As You Like It
Love's Labour's Lost
Venus and Adonis
The Sonnets
7. The nonsense word in Love's Labour's Lost, honorificabilitudinitatibus.
This is a Latin anagram: hi ludi F.Bacon nati tuiti orbi, these plays born
of F.Bacon are preserved for the world.
8. Letter from Bacon to King James,Nov.1622:
"...for my pen, if contemplative, going on with The Historie of Henry
the Eighth."
Letter from Bacon to the Duke of Buckingham, 21 February 1623:
...Prince Charles "who, I hope, ere long will make me leave King Henry
VIII and set me on work in relation to His Majesty's adventures."
Letter from Bacon to the Duke of Buckingham, 26 June 1623:
"...since you say the Prince hath not forgot his commandment touching
my history of Henry VIII."
January 1623. Bacon applied to the records office for the loan of archive
documents relating to the reign of Henry VIII.
December 1623 ' The Historie of King Henry VIII' printed for the first time
in the Shakespeare First Folio.
A brief,60-line summary of Henry's reign was printed after Bacon's death under
his own name.
