The Laws of Magic: Figure, Branch and Symbolic Signs
A standing figure holds a branching form above a narrow platform, with a bird, vessels and other small objects below. Letter-like signs and a large curving inscription occupy the enclosing dark field. The book captions the plate as symbols employed by the Israelites in their laws of magic. It records the grimoire’s historical claim through a composite symbolic scene rather than a documentary view of ancient practice.
