- الوصف:
- Full catalogue record in Fihrist: Union Catalogue of Manuscripts from the Islamicate WorldThe Cyranides is one of the works of the Hermetic corpus, the body of writings ascribed to Hermes Trismegistos. Hermes Trismegistos was a Hellenistic incarnation of the ancient Egyptian Thoth, and the god of all magic, alchemy and astrology. Arabic Hermetic literature continues the Greek tradition; in Islam Hermes is the inventor of all arts and sciences, and master of astronomy, numbers, poisons, chemistry, medicine, &c. This manuscript contains a translation or adaptation from the Greek of part of Book 1 of the Cyranides. The Cyranides is divided into 24 chapters, one for each letter of the Greek alphabet. Under each letter are represented a plant, a bird, a stone and a sea animal, all of whose names begin with that letter. Their individual occult influences combine to produce a new composite effect.Leaf.
