High & Ceremonial Magick

The Search for the Perfect Language

by Umberto Eco · James Fentress (trans.)

A history of European attempts to recover or invent a perfect language, from the Adamic tongue and Kabbalistic speculation to universal languages of the seventeenth century. It places magical and angelic languages such as John Dee's within a long intellectual tradition.
