Orus Apollo Niliacus de Hieroglyphicis Notis Volume 1 [Latin]

By Horapollo

Orus Apollo Niliacus De hieroglyphicis notis, a seminal work attributed to Horapollo and edited by Bernardinus Trebatius, offers a fascinating glimpse into Renaissance interpretations of Egyptian hieroglyphs. Originally written in Greek, this Latin edition from 1530 makes this influential text accessible to a wider scholarly audience.

The book delves into the symbolic meanings assigned to various hieroglyphic characters, revealing the esoteric and often allegorical interpretations prevalent during the period. Though modern Egyptology has since offered more accurate decipherments, Orus Apollo remains an invaluable historical document, showcasing the enduring allure of ancient Egypt and its profound impact on Renaissance thought. This volume provides unique insight into the history of linguistics and the evolving understanding of ancient cultures.
