Description

Description from Internet Archive (opens in a new tab)

"A famous work in which Pignoria identifies the Egyptian deities depicted on the Isiac Table, supposedly an ancient Egyptina bronze (or sone?) plaque [also sometimes described as copper overlaid with black enamel and silver incrustations or as bronze, decorated with silver, copper and niello inlay]...Of interest to the gemologist is the fact that Pignoria used antique engraved gems to exemplify ancient customs, mores, and rites which he then employed in deciphering the meaning of the tablet."--Gemology, by J. Sinkankas, v. 2, p. 811. The author's Magnae Deum Matris Idaeae (p. [13-20], 1-28 in the second section) and Tomasini's Manus Aeneae(p. [29]-60 in the second section) have separate title-pages.
