          "text": "Hi guys\n\nHaving just re-read Free Live Free, I was again intrigued by the\nmysterious code Madame Serpentina enters on her computer, quite early on\nin the book. After some research I have discovered that the main text\nthat is repeated \"INRI ADAM Te DAGERAM AMRTET ALGAR ALGASTNA\" is taken\nfrom a Rembrandt painting entitled \"Faust\". Although no \"official\"\nexplanation or translation is provided (by Rembrandt or anyone else), I\nfound an obscure website which suggested that INRI ADAM Te DAGERAM\nAMRTET ALGAR ALGASTNA is an anagram of ADAM ETMERADAG (Adam and\nMichael/Mordecai, guardians to the spiritual realm,) and Tetragram Graal\nSatan (God, Grail, Satan, no further explanation given). The story of\nFaust has two main versions- Marlowe's is that of a doomed Faust who\nmakes a pact with the devil in order to acquire occult knowledge, while\nGoethe's Faust is eventually redeemed. \n\nSo Serpentina is a Faust figure.... I guess a Goethe Faust as it appears\nshe is redeemed in the end. Has anyone learned anything else about the\ncode, or the meaning of other words?\n\nJessica \nThis email with any attachments is confidential and may be subject to legal privilege.  \nIf it is not intended for you please reply immediately, destroy it and do not copy, disclose or use it in any way.
