Links to some earlier research on Shakespeare, gematria and esoteric symbolism.
The following pages present some of my research findings:
Shakespeare's Mason Mark Shakespeare seems to have favoured the symbolism Euclid's 47th proposition, and hence the right-angled triangle, for his 'Mason's mark'.
The Eye in the Sonnets The 'eye in the triangle' symbolism found on the back of the dollar bill is also present in the formal structuring of Shakespeare's Sonnets.
Anthony and Cleopatra An essay which discovers symbolism characteristic of 'Royal Arch' Freemasonry deeply embedded in the text of Shakespeare's Egyptian play.
Gematria in Shakespeare's Sonnets An analysis of 'gematria coincidences' in Shakespeare's Sonnets indicating the presence of gematria patterning.
