My appologies for my readers but this has been one of the most taxating years when it comes to my bookbinding work. Nevertheless, a gracious tip of the hat to my Patrons, who stuck by me during this time.
My next post will be a full reworking of the amulets found in this famous treatise, Julii Reichelti Exercitatio de Amuletis. But for now, we shall deal exclusively with the seals of the seven archangels contained in the second figure.
I have excluded from the extraction the usual planetary and zodiacal signs, very familiar to those who know it s source, The Heptameron. Also of note are the names, borrowed from Agrippa.
MICHAEL (SUNDAY)
GABRIEL (MONDAY)
CAMAEL (TUESDAY)
RAPHAEL (WEDNESDAY)
ZADKIEL (THURSDAY)
HANIEL (FRIDAY)
ZAPHKIEL (SATURDAY)

Thank you so much! I’ve been trying for a while to find out the meaning of the seals on the back of the hand (6r) from “Compendium rarissimum totius Artis Magicae sistematisatae per celeberrimos Artis hujus Magistros.“ (https://wellcomecollection.org/works/cvnpwy8d) and thanks to you, here it is: archangels! I’m still trying to figure out the palm of the hand (5r). though
ReplyDeletei have a few dozens articles on these seals
Deletealso, the Compendium Rarrissimum is just meant to look cool, drawing half on real sources and half on artistic fantasy. don t try top hard to figure it out.
