EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving from Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim's renowned work, "De occulta philosophia libri tres" (Three Books of Occult Philosophy), published in 1533. The image features two fascinating alphabets: the Theban alphabet, also known as the Honorian alphabet or the Runes of Honorius, and the Celestial Alphabet, also called Scriptura Malachim or Angelic Script. Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa was a German author and philosopher during the Renaissance period. His book delves into various mystical subjects such as astrology, alchemy, and magic. This particular illustration highlights his deep interest in spirituality and esoteric knowledge. The intricate woodcut depicts Agrippa himself with a head-and-shoulders portrait. Surrounding him are symbols representing different aspects of occultism and heavenly realms. The alphabets featured hold significant importance in secret codes and rituals within Western occult traditions. The Theban alphabet is believed to have originated from medieval Germany and was associated with magical practices during that time. On the other hand, the Celestial Alphabet draws inspiration from Hebrew scriptural characters. This historical artwork provides us with a glimpse into Agrippa's exploration of hidden wisdom during the 16th century. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with mysticism throughout history—a testament to our eternal quest for understanding life's mysteries beyond what meets the eye.
