Orus Apollo Niliacus De hieroglyphicis notis; Volume 2

<p><i>Orus Apollo Niliacus De hieroglyphicis notis</i> Volume 2 is a seminal work on Egyptian hieroglyphs attributed to Horapollo likely dating back to the 5th century CE but gaining prominence during the Renaissance after its rediscovery. This edition published around 1530 and featuring the contributions of Bernardinus Trebatius offers valuable insights into the interpretation of hieroglyphic symbols reflecting the era's fascination with ancient wisdom and esoteric knowledge. The text represents an early attempt to decipher the complex system of hieroglyphs blending classical learning with emerging Renaissance scholarship. While not always accurate by modern standards Horapollo's work served as an important reference for scholars and artists influencing the development of symbolic language and iconography throughout the period. This volume provides a unique window into the intellectual and cultural milieu of the 16th century showcasing the enduring appeal of ancient Egypt and its mysterious script.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
