Cabbalistic Signs and Sigils, 18th Century

Cabala may refer to one of several systems of mysticism. A sigil is a symbol used in magic. The term has usually referred to a type of pictorial signature of a demon or other entity; in modern usage, especially in the context of chaos magic, it refers to a symbolic representation of the magician's desired outcome. Image appeared in an 18th century demonology book showing various demon figures, as well as magic and cabbalistic signs. The full Latin title of Compendium rarissimum totius Artis Magicae sistematisatae per celeberrimos Artis hujus Magistros, roughly translates to "A rare summary of the entire Magical Art by the most famous Masters of this Art". The bulk of the illustrations depict a varied bestiary of grotesque demonic creatures up to all sorts of appropriately demonic activities, such as chewing down on severed legs, spitting fire and snakes from genitalia, and parading around decapitated heads on sticks. Written in German and Latin, on white, brown and grey-green paper, the book has been dated to around 1775, although the unknown author tried to pass it off as an older relic, mentioning the year 1057 in the title page.

Título:
Cabbalistic Signs and Sigils, 18th Century
Descripción:
Traducción automática: La Cábala puede referirse a uno de varios sistemas de misticismo. Un sigilo es un símbolo utilizado en magia. El término generalmente se ha referido a un tipo de firma pictórica de un demonio u otra entidad; en el uso moderno, especialmente en el contexto de la magia del caos, se refiere a una representación simbólica del resultado deseado por el mago. La imagen apareció en un libro de demonología del siglo XVIII que mostraba varias figuras demoníacas, así como signos mágicos y cabalísticos. El título completo en latín de Compendium rarissimum totius Artis Magicae sistematisatae per celeberrimos Artis hujus Magistros, se traduce aproximadamente como "Un resumen poco común de todo el Arte Mágico por los Maestros más famosos de este Arte". La mayor parte de las ilustraciones representan un variado bestiario de criaturas demoníacas grotescas hasta todo tipo de actividades apropiadamente demoníacas, como masticar piernas cortadas, escupir fuego y serpientes de los genitales y desfilar por ahí con cabezas decapitadas en palos. Escrito en alemán y latín, sobre papel blanco, marrón y gris verdoso, el libro ha sido datado en torno a 1775, aunque el autor desconocido intentó hacerlo pasar por una reliquia más antigua, mencionando el año 1057 en la página del título.
