Tabula Originalis 4

For the sake of readability, I have not included the letters that Dee originally put in, but then marked as invalid by drawing a line diagonally across them.
The red letters mark the location of the reversed letters, used to form PARAOAN.

The numbering of the tables are taken from ms Sloane 3191 folios 56v and 57r, which differ from the order the were received in the ms Cotton appendix i, folios 199r, 200r and 201rw, where the order is listed as:

  1. oroibAhaozpi
  2. MOrdialhCtGa
  3. oiPteaapDoce
  4. mpharslgaiol

Structure #

As with all of the watchtowers, this one contain the same structure as the others, consisting of:

  • Linea spiritus sancti - the central line.
  • Linea patre & filio - the sixth and seventh column.
  • The central cross - made up from the linea spiritus sancti and linea patre & filio.
  • The four quadrants - made up from the parts separated by the central cross.

These parts contain the following hierarchy:

  • 1 trumpeter
  • 3 ensign bearers, bearing the names of God
  • 6 elders
  • 1 king
  • 5 princes
  • 5 crosses
  • 16 dispositors.

This, however is far from the whole truth, as Dee himself noted with the comment:

I do know assuredly that there is very much matter in this table.
