Discover how the intriguing legomenon phenomenon appears in the Holy Bible, Shakespeare's works, and how it may contribute to evidence for the Baconian theory of Shakespeare authorship. You’ll learn of the fascinating patterns behind Zipf's Law, Heap's Law, and Benford's Law in language and literature, and journey through the Pauline epistles to get there.
