The Hieroglyphics of Horapollo
Free full text
This work presents a Renaissance-era translation and commentary on the ancient Greek text attributed to Horapollo, a key source for early European ideas about Egyptian hieroglyphs. Historically important for the way it shaped symbolic and occult interpretations of Egypt, it contains allegorical explanations of hieroglyphic signs that influenced later esoteric and hermetic thought.
