Sumario:"Whoever wrote 'The Merchant of Venice' had a great legal mind. Was Francis Bacon the author, or one of the authors, of the play? Bacon's deep legal knowledge, even in the civilian law that derived from the Justinian Code, has long been under-appreciated.

The other characters are also analyzed, along with a broad set of symbols and puns that provide clues."
