2763.1 Georg von WELLING [Gregorious Anglus Sallwight].
[JHVH] Opus mago-cabalisticum et theologicum. Vom Uhrsprung und Erzeugung des Saltzes, dessen Natur und Eigenschafft, wie auch dessen Nutz und Gebrauch. Da denn zugleich die Erzeugung aller Metallen und Mineralien, und aller andern Salien aus dem Grunde der Natur bewiesen wird; auch viel Theosophica, nach Gelegenheit der Materien, mit untergemischt werden. Dessgleichen auch weitläufftig discuriret wird von denen uns unsichtbaren Creaturen, in denen uns sichtbahren und greifflichen Elementen, wie auch von dem Paradiese und dessen Loco, welches alles vorgestellet wird durch das Systema Magicum Universi; dadurch der Wahrheit-liebende, zu den allerhöchsten und heligsten Geheimnüssen geleitet und geführet wird. Alles auffgesetzt und zusammen getragen von einem embsigen Liebhaber der ewigen Wahrheit, dessen Nahmen Gregorius Anglus Sallwigt überkommen anno MDCCVIII.

[Illustrations:-
10 engravings inserted at the end, four on large folding sheets. In many copies these have been hand-coloured.
1. 165x120mm. Figure 1. Systema Magicum Universi. Cosmic diagram of seven concentric circles, one bearing the planets and the fixed stars.
2. 225x138mm. Figures 2-11. At the top are the symbols of the four elements. Below, a triangle and a hexagram are inscribed in circles.
3. 232x134mm. Figures 12-13. Two geometric figures in which squares are derived from circles.
4. 182x143mm. Figures 14-15. A cube stands in a bundle of rays emanating from the center of a sphere. A cube is shown with various geometric construction lines drawn upon it.
5. 250x232mm (folding sheet). Figures 16-34. Various parts of circles, triangles and squares, with construction lines.
6. 250x219mm (folding sheet). Figures 35-51. The symbols of the planets and some alchemical substances, constructed from lines and parts of circles.
7. 246x175mm. Figure 52. The Days of Creation shown in a series of circular figures.
8. 293x216mm. Figure 53 (folding sheet). In the centre of a seven-pointed star whose vertices have the symbols of the planets, is a blazing triangle of light. From this a channel descends down through a series of 12 concentric circles (the nine hierarchies of angels and three circles connected with the 'Mundus Intelligentiarum'). This channel terminates at the sphere of the fixed stars within which are the seven planetary spheres around the globe of the Earth. A twelve pointed star, each vertex a sign of the Zodiac, links the various spheres.
9. 295x230mm. Figure 54 (folding sheet). A variation on the diagram of item 8, figure 53.
10. 280x155mm. Figures 55-58. Circles with light radiating from the centre, outward and from the circumference inward. Seven concentric circles are set within a square. These are associated with the four elements, and the Schamaim.]
