Scope and Contents

This is a put-together of the Gmicalzoma language of John Dee, magician and alchemist to Queen Elizabeth during Shakespeare's time with the typographical design of Iliazd. The title page contains ciphers from a book by Dee himself. The tiles consist of nine small tiles joined together by wooden dowels and Hirschman mentions that he was seeking a "geometric Zaum" by the the rota-tora-orat box simulation. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
