Sir Francis Bacon's Cipher Story V1

By Orville Ward Owen

Book Overview

Sir Francis Bacon's Cipher Story V1 is a book written by Orville W. Owen that explores the life and work of Sir Francis Bacon, an English philosopher, statesman, and author who lived in the 16th and 17th centuries. The book focuses specifically on Bacon's use of ciphers, or secret codes, in his writing, and examines the possibility that Bacon may have hidden important information in his works using these codes.The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of Bacon's life and work. The first section provides an overview of Bacon's life and career, while the second section delves into the history of cryptography and the use of ciphers in literature. The third section examines Bacon's use of ciphers in his own writing, and the fourth section presents evidence that Bacon may have used ciphers to convey secret messages and information.Throughout the book, Owen presents a wealth of historical and literary evidence to support his arguments, drawing on a wide range of sources including Bacon's own writings, historical documents, and other works of literature. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in the life and work of Sir Francis Bacon, as well as the history of cryptography and the use of ciphers in literature.1894.
