Ovid's and Shakespeare's epitaphs

26+28 Initials in Ovid's and Shakespeare's epitaphs

I. Ovid's Initials

II. Shakespeare's Initials

III. SYNOPSIS

The 26+28 initials of both epitaphs are another proof of Shakespeare's extraordinary gematric capacities. It is entirely unimaginable that he didn't study Ovid's gematric construction of his initials most carefully. Again Shakespeare varies Ovid's plan and gives both construction an encompassing meaning.

I. Ovid's Initials

1.      According to the four lines of his epitaph Ovid regards the 26 initials as 4 words of 7+5+9+5 letters so that he can determine the 4values of each group:

507 = 13*3*13; 507:130 = 13*(39:10)

The results show that Ovid makes 13 the main factor. He achieves three ratios: First, he treats the NS+FS and their respective FV1/FV2 as two groups whose sums are 13*(39:10). Second, he connects the 4v-sums of the two hexameters and of the two pentameters, which produces the ratio 390:247 = 13*(30:19). The single digits of both ratios represent 1 midpoint + 9 points of one tetractys + 3 remaining points of the hexagram. Third, he also connects the 4v-sums of the first two and the last two lines: 294:343 = 49*(6:7).

2.      The total 13*49 refers to the 49 elements of the hexagramm which include 13 points. If the hexagram is provided with an outer circle line, the midpoint of the hexagon has to be counted a second time. The ratio of the two circle areas is 1:3:

The FV of 13*49 is 13+(7+7) = 27. With regard to the circle areas this means that 13 points represent 3 area units and 7+7 points 1+3 area units. As the FV2-sum is 49, the ratio 49*(1:12) can be understood as the area ratio 1:(1+2).

3.      Surprisingly, the two 4v-sums 130 and 226 are the same as for IESUS CHRISTUS:

291+108 = 399; 236+79 = 315; 399:315 = 21*(19:15)

Instead of 13, Shakespeare chooses 17 as common factor. Like Ovid Shakespeare makes the NS+FS and the FV1/2-sums divisible by the same number.

2.      While Ovid aims at ratios of the 4v-sums, Shakespeare concentrates on the NS+FS results, connecting the first two and last two lines. He also combines the NS and FS with their respective FV-sums.

III. SYNOPSIS

1.      The NS+FS of the 26+28 = 54 initials are 507+527 = 1034 = 22*47. This is part of the total NS+FS 102*47 of 242 letters (cf. addendum1). 102 is the NS of PENSATOR (he who compensates, rewards), the 8 different letters of the SATOR Square. The difference 102-22 = 80 is the FS of PENSATOR.

The remaining NS+FS for 242-54 = 188 letters is 80*47. As 188 is 4*47, there is an average NV+FV of 20 (*4*47) for each letter. 20 is relatable to two tetractyses with 10 points for each. As each tetractys consists of 37 elements, 20 points can stand for 74, the NS of WILLIAM.

188 is the NS+FS of CHRISTUS. So the two epitaphs under the protection of Jesus Christ himself, the redeemer of all men.

2.      Shakespeare contrives a ratio of the NS+FS of the first and the third lines and the second and fourth lines:

403

114

82

196

213+403 = 616

222+196 = 418

The ratio of the two sums is 22*(28:19). Shakespeare obviously knew about the distinction between measures and delimiting points, as can be shown in a circle:

There are 9 basic numbers. 0 is uncountable, but it serves as the beginning of the first measure. The circle shows 1+9 points and 2+8 measures. Accordingly, the FV1/2-sums amount to 3-17.

3.      The factors of the combined 4v-sum 1351 are 7*193. They are relatable to 7 points of the hexagon and 13 points of the hexagram and so once more represent the area ratio 1:3 of the two concentric circles.

The factoral computation of the two sums produces an interesting result:

1407 = 7*201 is the inversion of 714 = 7*102. 102 is the NS of the 8 different letters of the SATOR Square and 201 the NS of the 17 remaining letters. It is noteworthy that the 4value–sum of the four Latin words of the Christian trinity is 817:
