Malachim

Malachim was an alphabet published by Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa in the 16th century.[1] Other alphabets with a similar origin are the Celestial Alphabet[2] and Transitus Fluvii[3].

The Malachim Script, from Agrippa's 'Of Occult Philosophy' English 1651 edition

"Malachim" is a plural form from Hebrew (מלאך, mal'ach) and means "angels" or "messengers", see Angels in Judaism.

History

The Malachim alphabet is derived from the Hebrew and Greek alphabets. It was created by Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa during the 16th century and is still used by high degree Freemasons to a limited extent.[4] This version is from Agrippa's Of Occult Philosophy, 1651 edition.[5]
