Cryptic Meanings of Rosicrucian Headpieces and other such emblems

A talk on Zoom by Peter Dawkins, about the cryptography and meanings of key headpieces used in Duke Augustus’ Cryptomenytices et Cryptographiae, Francis Bacon’s De Dignitate et Augmentis Scientiarum, and the Shakespeare Poems, Sonnets and First Folio of Plays, including the secret signatures of the authors of the Shakespeare works.

This talk is the fourth of the series of five talks on Rosicrucian Cryptography that are being given to celebrate the Quatercentenary of the publication of the great cipher manual, Cryptomenytices et Cryptographiae – a manual that provides keys to cryptography in publications such as the 1623 twin Folios, Francis Bacon’s De Dignitate et Augmentis Scientiarum and the Shakespeare First Folio, Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies, and other books authored by members of the Rosy Cross fraternity. It is a cryptography still useful (and used) today.

For further information and booking, please contact the Organiser (FBRT).

For those who attend the talk, there will be time for questions, answers and insights after the talk.
