Hi guys
Having just re-read Free Live Free, I was again intrigued by the mysterious code Madame Serpentina enters on her computer, quite early on in the book. After some research I have discovered that the main text that is repeated "INRI ADAM Te DAGERAM AMRTET ALGAR ALGASTNA" is taken from a Rembrandt painting entitled "Faust". Although no "official" explanation or translation is provided (by Rembrandt or anyone else), I found an obscure website which suggested that INRI ADAM Te DAGERAM AMRTET ALGAR ALGASTNA is an anagram of ADAM ETMERADAG (Adam and Michael/Mordecai, guardians to the spiritual realm,) and Tetragram Graal Satan (God, Grail, Satan, no further explanation given). The story of Faust has two main versions- Marlowe's is that of a doomed Faust who makes a pact with the devil in order to acquire occult knowledge, while Goethe's Faust is eventually redeemed.
So Serpentina is a Faust figure.... I guess a Goethe Faust as it appears she is redeemed in the end. Has anyone learned anything else about the code, or the meaning of other words?
