Magic - Occulta - Kabbalah. Two fold-out Hebrew celestial maps show Gaffarel's central work on Jewish astrology, Kabbalah and various magical beliefs. Gaffarel's most significant and important work "Curiositez inouyes" deals with oriental talismans, Hebrew, Egyptian and Arabic astrology, Kabbalah and astrology. The book is divided into three parts. The first focuses on defending the Orientals, especially the Jews, against various historical calumnies. The second deals with Persian talisman sculpture and astrology. The third deals with the horoscope of the patriarchs and the astrology of the ancient Hebrews. The book opens to two celestial charts or Kabbalistic planispheres on which the constellations form Hebrew letters.
