Dimensions:  length 34 (17+17)     width:  7 Letters (E de Vere).

Cluster 1:  Cell 8 Letter S   profecto is the 8 letter Homonym in Latin for VERE.

Cluster 2:  Cell 19 Letter E   septendecim is the 11 letter word in Latin for 17.

Cluster 3:  Cell 28 Letter S   seventeen is the 9 letter English translation of Latin for 17.

scamp:   key [– 15 els] Shakspearescamp “scamp: knave, a disreputable person, a rogue.”

These are the Keys that validate the message revealed; centred upon Vere and 17.

rune:  The code word defined by its German root “Whisper, secret talk”.

A hidden message based upon ELS (equidistant letter sequencing) possesses four major requirements recognized in cryptology. (1) There must be a valid reason for secrecy. (2) The message in cipher text must comply with the syntax in clear text. (3) The cipher text must occur in one or more clusters. If more than one, the clusters must read concurrently.

(4) The keys for deciphering ELS must be party to the subject of the secret.

When using ELS the practitioner has to invent a passage of clear text that contains each letter of the cipher text as part of its syntax, but without arousing suspicion when it is read. For a little under five centuries I.B. (Ben Jonson, the same initials appear in reverse order at the front of the First Folio) succeeded in accomplishing this, despite the anomalies in the clear text. These were ignored by those intelligent enough to have overcome the effort made to conceal them.

ANOMALIES.  Most obvious is Monument Shakspeare. Had these two words been reversed, Cluster 2 would have been destroyed. Sieh: German imperative of siehen (to see). Attempts to explain ‘E’ as ‘T’ would have isolated Ben Jonson’s initials. Whome with ‘E’ is necessary for Cluster 2. Whom without ‘E’ is necessary for Cluster 1. Ys instead of this (spelt in full earlier) is necessary for Cluster 1. Also Yt abbreviated instead of that allows the alignment of Cluster 1. Shakspeare without ‘E’ between ‘K’ and ‘S’ allows as he to fall into line with the name: as spelt. Writt but not Writ aligns Cluster 3.

Compliant with these anomalies, “Late sixteenth-century England was a country that provided a ready audience for dissident codes: its people were addicted to hidden meanings. Codes, devices, and punning allusions were everywhere—in street songs and ballads, conversation, poems, plays, woodcuts, portraits … There were literary codes, too, accessible only to the sophisticated elite.” It is with this firmly in mind, we can now share with Ben Jonson the manner of his intention to secretly conceal the politically sensitive truth censored by Lord Burghley; which his son-in-law’s Love Sonnets, written to the effeminate teenager, Lord Southampton threatened to scandalise the family. Burghley succeeded by redirecting de Vere’s authorship to his allonym, and retiring him far from London and awkward questions, with enough money to buy the best house in Stratford-upon Avon. Wits Treasury, a book written by Francis Meres, a Cambridge scholar, who extolled ‘Shakespeare’ to the pinnacle of English literature; naming plays that before had been anonymous—source unknown!

One dissenting author among the ‘Anti-Vere’ group, outwitted by Jonson, wrote: “I define ‘documentary evidence’ as written texts or inscriptions, whether in manuscripts, print or stone, which bear directly, and not by a contorted chain of conjecture or inference on matters of historical fact.” Written in stone on the Stratford Monument is THIS Scientific Fact.

So Test Him. He I vow is [Whisper, Secret Talk] E. de Vere, As He Shakspeare. Scamp! Me B. I.

The full story appears in How Science Proved Edward de Vere was William Shakespeare. It includes confirmatory grilles, not only from Thomas Nashe, Leonard Digges, Edmund Spenser, William Marshall, John Benson, Thomas Thorpe and Aston Cokaine: but also by Edward de Vere himself, who thus confessed himself to be the poet of the Sonnets.

this cardano grille is a genuine scientific construction and accords with the rules of cryptology.
