The Great Cryptogram V1 is a book written by Ignatius Donnelly that focuses on Francis Bacon's Cipher in the So-Called Shakespeare Plays. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which delves into different aspects of the cipher and its significance. The author argues that Bacon was the true author of the Shakespeare plays and that he used a complex cipher to encode his messages within the text. Donnelly provides a detailed analysis of the cipher and its various components, including an explanation of Bacon's system of codes and symbols. He also explores the historical context in which the cipher was created, and the political and cultural influences that shaped Bacon's work. The book is a fascinating exploration of the hidden messages and meanings within the Shakespeare plays, and provides a unique perspective on the authorship debate. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of cryptography, the Shakespeare authorship question, or the life and work of Francis Bacon.1887.
