Description
English: This illustration first appears in the 1646 edition of Guillaume Postel's Absconditorum a constitutione mundi clavis, a text originally published in 1547. Postel's 17th-century editor, Abraham von Franckenberg, thought that the work was too obscure and added an explanatory appendix, along with this diagram which he playfully termed, "The Editor’s Key to the Author’s Key". Two centuries later, Éliphas Lévi claimed that this diagram somehow referred to Tarot, and that it thereby demonstrated that the playing cards had been connected with Qabalah in the 16th century.
