The 72 Names of God

This rare Gnostic image below shows the name of God in seventy-two languages from Athanasius Kircher’s OEdipus AEgyptiacus which is his Great Work Egyptology. After his studies and many years of research he concluded “that I am fully persuaded that either the Egyptians were Hebraicizing or the Hebrews were Egypticizing.”

Inscribed upon the petals of a symbolic sunflower are the 72 names of God that in Hebrew is called “Shemhamphorasch (alternatively Shem ha-Mephorash or Schemhamphoras, originally Shem HaMephorash (שם המפורש)).” The “72-fold name” is highly important to Sefer Raziel, and a key (but often missing) component to the magical practices in The Lesser Key of Solomon.

Being an artist, Da Vinci had chosen to focus mainly on the shape, size, and descriptive features of objects specifically, those illustrating the sphere, cone, cylinder, pyramid, and the five Platonic solids rather than their theoretical foundations. He created sixty plates geometric sketches for the work of Leonardo da Vinci’s Geometric Sketches (Divina proportione).

The following images are facsimiles of several of these plates. (more…)
