The “language debate,” as it has come to be called, was a topic of compelling interest to major figures such as Reuchlin, Rabelais, Paracelsus, Agrippa, Postel, Boehme, Kircher, Hobbes, Descartes, Comenius, Spinoza, Locke, Boyle, Newton, and Leibniz. At issue were profound questions about whether language is natural or artificial, ordained by God or created by man. The answers given entailed a web of consequences that could lead to arrest, imprisonment, even execution. It is therefore not surprising that van Helmont wrote his book while imprisoned in the dungeons of the Roman Inquisition.Aries book series ;v. 3.Hebrew languageAlphabetReligious aspectsChristianityEarly works to 1800Hebrew languageAlphabetReligious aspectsJudaismEarly works to 1800Cabala and ChristianityEarly works to 1800Electronic books.Hebrew languageAlphabetReligious aspectsChristianityHebrew languageAlphabetReligious aspectsJudaismCabala and Christianity492.4/01Helmont Franciscus Mercurius van1614-1699.860420Coudert Allison1941-540294Corse Taylor1951-982086MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453550803321The alphabet of nature2241359UNINA
