Scope and Contents

From the Series:

Comprised of magic squares, acrostics, anagrams, mathematical calculations and riddles. The vast majority of these word and number puzzles relate directly to the Shakespeare-Bacon controversy that both Covert and his cousin, Walter Arensberg, felt could be solved through the use of acrostics and other word puzzles. Also includes a cipher key for a code Covert developed based on his Social Security number.

Because of the highly specialized format of this material, researchers interested in the topic are encouraged to review all items in the Series because not all titles and subjects are obvious.
