Characters from the Fourth Book Attributed to Agrippa
Twenty-seven numbered signs move from lines and letter-like forms to fire, water, animals and bodily emblems. Waite’s explanation identifies Plate V with the so-called Fourth Book of Cornelius Agrippa. An eye, hand, foot, crown, sword and scourge appear in the lower rows. The attribution follows the historical source’s qualified wording rather than identifying Agrippa as this plate’s artist.
