[Two drawings. The first in ink and watercolours, which is a dismembered version of Dee's 'monas hieroglyphica', coloured in grey and gold and labelled as to each part, surmounted by an inverted triangle geometrically divided into four triangles of equal size, all full of numbers, words, little squares, and in the centre, a circle labelled 'Chaos Catholicon'. The second is a larger circle, with geometric internal sub-divisions labeled as to elements and qualities, and a smaller circle called 'Ovum Philosophicum'.]
