Cryptic Meanings of Baconian Frontispieces and Title pages

A talk on Zoom by Peter Dawkins, about the cryptography and meanings, divine and human, of the frontispieces and title pages used in Francis Bacon’s philosophical books bearing his name, which help to explain the Great Instauration and illustrate the various degrees of Speculative Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism. The Great Instauration is the Rosicrucian method and on-going work of building a new “temple of light in the human mind” and a paradisiacal Golden Age on earth.

This talk is the last 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.
