I found this randomly on the net, don't know how much credence can be given to it....
The anagram is
"hi ludi F. Baconis nati tuiti orbi"
translation: These plays, F. Bacon's offspring, are preserved for the world
I had a feeling that, with seven 'i's in it, it had to have been a Latin anagram. However, I wouldn't put too much faith in such a presumptive statement as the one above. Some people spend a lot of time trying to bulid apt anagrams out of names, phrases and quotes with often remarkable results (you can find the results on many joke pages on the web) and I think this is what has happened here. I think we can safely consign this one to the crank heap.
