Zwei griechische Zauberpapyri des Berliner Museums / herausgegeben und erklärt [von G. Parthey].
An 1866 Berlin scholarly edition by Gustav Parthey publishing and explaining two Greek magical papyri from the Berlin museum, aimed at classical scholars and papyrologists. The single picture is a schematic line drawing of a standing figure with arms outstretched, its body covered in Greek letters, vowel sequences and a short Greek caption, reproducing a magical diagram. A designer might take its diagrammatic, annotated figure style, with symbols arranged over a human body, as a model for esoteric or talismanic graphics.
