The Mercury Pentacle for Wednesday: Raphael’s Manuscript
A concentric pentacle is headed for Mercury and Wednesday, with Alpha et Omega written across its centre. Below, a radial device is associated with success among merchants and travellers, and a second geometric talisman is captioned against slavery. The handwritten facsimile preserves both the diagrams and the author’s stated purposes, distinguishing their historical interpretation from their visual structure.
