The great symbol of Solomon
A crowned, bearded figure is mirrored upside down inside an oval serpent border. Interlaced triangles cross the paired bodies and bands of lettering. The History of Magic captions the design as the Great Symbol of Solomon, locating it within Lévi’s symbolic synthesis. That title identifies the book’s emblem rather than establishing an ancient maker or provenance.
