Monas Hieroglyphica | John Dee | 1564

John Dee's Monas Hieroglyphica (1564) — the single symbol that Dee claimed encoded all of mathematics, alchemy, astrology, and Kabbalah simultaneously. The most compact and most ambitious symbol in the Western esoteric tradition: a cross, a circle, a crescent, and the sign of Aries combined into one figure that contains everything. Catalog No. 7208.
