Third ed. (1st 1629) of the “Unheard of Curiosities” by J. Gaffarel (1601-1681), Christian kabbalist
who defended the kabbalah against attacks by Mersenne and others. The work is divided into 4
parts. Part 1 defends orientals, esp. Hebrews, from Christian charges, stating that many Jewish
ideas are not alien to Christianity. Part 2 deals with Persian talismanic sculpture. In part 3 Gaffarel
defends ancient Hebrew, Egyptians and Arabic astrology against the condemning views of Scaliger,
and describes how the ancient Hebrews drew horoscopes. Part 4 presents Gaffarel’s theory that
the stars, according the Hebrews, have been arranged in the form of letters, and by knowing how
to “read” the heavens, one can foretell anything that will take place in this world. This part is
accompanied by
2 fold. woodcut celestial maps
on which stars have been depicted in the form of
Hebrew letters. Ownership entries and annotations on inside covers and title.
