Codes in Shakespeare

In the Norwegian book, Organisten (Dan/Swe: Ekspedition/Expedition Shakespeare), Petter Amundsen presents several ciphers in the works of W. Shakespeare. You can read about some of his findings in his document here. I’m usually very skeptical, but parts of this theory has me intrigued. Here are some ciphers I have discovered that are not mentioned in the book, nor the DVD! Warning: A lot of this will not make sense if you haven’t read the book or other related material.

37/53 degrees of the 3-4-5 triangle in 1 Henry IV

Codes in Shakespeare's King Henry IV page 49
This page and its acrostic ciphers are mentioned in the book, but the line was not. It passes through the page’s only two “Lord”s, intersects the upper left corner, and has a 37 degree angle.

Boötes in Antony and Cleopatra

Codes in Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra page 346
Another interesting page is page 346 of The Tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra, where I found “BOwTHS” (=Bootes), a “TWO” and “FBACa”.

Rosy Cross in Comedies, page 235

Codes in Shakespeare's Alls Well that Ends Well page 235
This page is mentioned in epilogue 4 (not in the first edition of the book), but not the circled parts. “R-O-s-y C” between Rossi and crosse is at a 53 degree angle of course!

BACon on page 2 of Tragedies

Coriolanus, page 2
Mirroring the F BACon on page 2 of Comedies! Also a possible BOWTIs anagram.

BACO on page 281

I have also noticed the BACO on page 281, The Winters Tale:
Codes in Shakespeare's Winters Tale page 281

Other finds that could be nothing:
King John, page 10

Richard II, page 27
