He gave us the clues - the 46th word is Shake, and the 46th word from the end is spear. Shakespeare would have been 46 years old in 1610 as the book was being prepared for the press - and to top it all off, William Shakespeare is an anagram of “Here was I, like a psalm.”OVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-17709423347564203992013-04-27T05:43:39.669+01:002013-04-27T05:43:39.669+01:00A marvellous Quiz - I will direct other members of...A marvellous Quiz - I will direct other members of my family to the link and see if they can beat my perfect score.

I did once attend a lecture by a very eminent Shakespeare and biblical scholar who had spent some time trying to find proof that the playwright attached to King James' own theatre company, i.e. Shakespeare, had had a hand in the King James Version but unfortunately to no avail. It would have been a great game - spotting the passages for which he was responsible.Alexhttp://thinkinginfragments.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-43974149522393897512013-04-26T12:20:10.208+01:002013-04-26T12:20:10.208+01:00I got 25.
