Harris takes the “dyer” encryption to mean that the author of the Shakespeare works is Dyer. Such a double encryption does not happen by accident. He kept his word and divulged only his “stenley” discovery to promote his advocacy for Stanley.Īs I illustrated in The Brooklyn Rail of February 2013, the encryptor of the actors page centered stenley and dyer in the columns, not only giving them added emphasis in that way but also the space accorded to dignitaries: First Folio Encryption on “Names of the Principall Actors” Page. He never mentioned that “dyer” was encrypted into the second column. Rollett publicized his discovery but never gave away the confidence entrusted to him by Harris. In the first column encrypted into the last letters of the actors’ last names, Rollett discovered “stenley,” about as close an approximation as could be made to “stanley,” with no actors’ names ending in ‘a’, and ‘e’ being the best phonetic substitute. Harris mentioned that he was not able to make sense of what the last letters in the names in the first column were encrypting, little realizing what he was serving up on a silver platter to Rollett, who had already decided that William Stanley, the Sixth Earl of Derby, was the principal author of the plays. He noticed decades ago, but kept secret or divulged only to a short list of confidants sworn to secrecy, that “dyer” was encrypted into the last letters of the last names in the second of the two columns in which the actors names are displayed.Īt some point Harris divulged his discovery to John Rollett, a physicist and independent researcher on authorship matters famed for his 6-2-4 encryption discovery in the Sonnets dedication. The first was found by Jones Harris, an independent researcher who, “following in the footsteps of Alden Brooks,” as he says, believes that the principal author of the Shakespeare works was Sir Edward Dyer. In regard to the page with “The Names of All the Principall Actors in all these Playes” in the Shakespeare folio editions, notice has been received of two apparent encryptions.
