Ovid's and Shakespeare's epitaphs
Ovid's
and Shakespeare's names in Tetractys and Double Rhombus
V. Including MARIA IESUS CHRISTUS
a) The tetractys
1.
As I
pointed out in another chapter, Shakespeare drew on the
notion that the letters of his and Ovid's names consisted of 18 letters. The same applies for the names MARIA IESUS CHRISTUS which play a main role in
Shakespeare's gematric efforts. These two central persons of Christian
salvation serve as connecting links between Antiquity and the Christian era.
The three names can be arranged in the tetractys and the double rhombus in the
same way as has been demonstrated above.
However, as the hexagram contains only two tetractyses, only two can be
compared.
First
the values of the three names deserve interest for their own sake:

The average NS+FS
of each point is 21. The
sum 63 refers to the elements of three
double rhombi, the doubled sum to three crosses of
double rhombi for constructing three octahedra.
The NS+FS 177 is identical with the NS
of WILLIAM (74)
SHAKESPEARE (103).

Another
dividing up of tetractys elements of both name groups produces an interesting
result: 3*3 elements of hexagonal segments
and 3*3 extension elements:

The factors 7*7*7
of the NS+FS
343 points to 7 elements of each
tetractys side, the total sum 666
to a circular counting of 3*6 elements.
b) The double
rhombus
1.
It
seems presumptuous to suppose that the names MARIA
IESUS CHRISTUS should form an harmonious gematric relationship with any names.
It's not my intent to try out everything. But we can't exclude that Shakespeare
did. So I chose one of the different aspects of gematric order in the circular
arrangement of letters: As there is an area ratio of 1:2 between the hexagonal circle and the
extension ring of the hexagram, I am
going to compare 10 hexagonal letters to 4+4 extension letters:

The NS+FS
366 of the 10+10 hexagonal elements is
identical with the NS+FS
of MARIA IESUS CHRISTUS. The FS 69+54
correspond to the NS 69+FS 54 of SATOR – Creator.

The
most important result is that the NS of both
concentric parts are equally 317. The prime
number has to be understood as 3*17 with
reference to three fishlike geometrical figures of the tetractys consisting of 17 elements each. As there are two tetractyses in
the hexagram, the number has to be doubled:
|
The two tetractyses are the main model for the word PENS|ATOR – he who
weighs, compensates, consisting of 8
different letters of the SATOR square and of
twice the NS 51 for each half.
