The Cipher In The Plays And On The Tombstone (1900)

The Cipher In The Plays And On The Tombstone is a book written by Ignatius Donnelly and published in 1900. The book explores the use of ciphers in the works of William Shakespeare and on his tombstone. Donnelly argues that Shakespeare was not the true author of his plays and that the ciphers found in them were clues left by the real author to reveal his identity. He also claims that the cipher on Shakespeare's tombstone is a message that confirms this theory. The book includes detailed analyses of the ciphers and their possible meanings, as well as historical background information on Shakespeare and the Elizabethan era. Donnelly's theories have been widely discredited by scholars, but the book remains an interesting read for those interested in literary mysteries and conspiracy theories.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
