The manuscript in the Manly P Hall collection referred to in a previous thread also contains this drawing of the Hand of the Philosophers made famous by Isaac Holland. It seems to be a copy of the illustration half way down the page in Adam's essay on this subject:

The hand is followed by a short poem:

"Robert Fludd (1574-1637) is the author of more than twenty philosophical, medical and scientific works. Music occupies a central place in his writings, yet the music that appears in his discussion of the harmony of the universe (macrocosm) and the harmony of man (microcosm), as well as his substantive writing on music theory and organology, is ‘silent’ - a symbolic and theoretical phenomenon only. Fludd, however, was also a performer and composer. Ten trios by Fludd dating to the first half of the seventeenth century have survived from a single source. Until recently, these pieces could not be heard or played, having lain hidden in a manuscript in New Haven , CT, for many years. Hearing Fludd's imaginative chamber music will offer listeners new insights into Fludd's bold musical philosophy and the striking imagery of his publications."

I found this on Pinterest. Apparently it's from the Manly Palmer Hall boxes but I don't know which one.

It's reminiscent of the style of the 18th century 'alchemical freemason' Johann Samuel Mund.
