GEMATRIA A Preliminary Investigation of the Cabala by Frederick Bligh Bond, F.R.I.B.A. & Thomas Simcox Lea, D.D. First published in 1917, this pioneering work meticulously examines the ancient mystical practice of gematria as preserved in Coptic Gnostic texts and the Greek New Testament. Unveiling a sophisticated numerical system underlying sacred scriptures, Bond and Lea reveal profound insights into the doctrinal significance of numbers, geometrical symbolism, and more. A groundbreaking exploration for scholars and seekers of esoteric wisdom, this study demonstrates how sacred names and cosmic truths are intricately encoded within numeric structures, illuminating the lost gnosis once held by early Christian mystics.
