Sir Francis Bacon's Cipher Story, Book 5 is a historical book written by Orville Ward Owen in 1895. The book is part of a series that explores the work of Sir Francis Bacon, a renowned philosopher, writer, and statesman of the Elizabethan era. The fifth book in the series delves into Bacon's use of ciphers and secret codes in his writings, particularly in his play The Tempest. Owen provides a detailed analysis of Bacon's use of ciphers, decoding various hidden messages and meanings in his work. The book also includes a comprehensive history of cryptography and its use throughout history. The author argues that Bacon's use of ciphers was not merely a literary device, but a way of conveying secret messages to his contemporaries. Owen suggests that Bacon's ciphers were used to communicate his political and philosophical beliefs, as well as to conceal his true identity and protect himself from persecution. Overall, Sir Francis Bacon's Cipher Story, Book 5 provides a fascinating insight into the life and work of one of the most influential figures in English literature and philosophy. It is a must-read for anyone interested in cryptography, Elizabethan literature, and the history of secret codes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
