The Bi-Literal Cypher of Francis Bacon by E.W. Gallup
Publication: 1899 Howard Publishing Company First Edition
This book explores the mystery surrounding Shakespeare and Francis Bacon. The author, Gallup, was once employed as a cryptographer during World War I, and she utilized her expertise and knowledge in this field to investigate the Bacon cipher mystery. Her aim was to “prove” that the plays attributed to Shakespeare were actually written by Francis Bacon, suggesting that Shakespeare was merely a persona and a disguise for the true author. According to the author, by using Bacon’s own cipher and closely examining a specific type of setting, one can uncover dozens of hidden messages from Bacon.
