Thanks Mike, Ross - I have inserted those links.
Still working on the Mellet - it's becoming a bit of chore towards the end
The bbcode table function doesn't seem to work on this forum, so I have put in an image instead.
I also have a rough translation of Dammartin's lecture to the History Institute, 1838 - which contains I think the earliest reference to the attribution of Hebrew letters to the trumps in sequence commencing Alef-Bateleur, the book he published of the same the next year was a great influence on Levi, Papus et al. (His main theses was that ancient hieroglyphs alphabets were based upon lines between constellations, and bases it mainly on the 22 Chinese characters of the Chinese Stem-Branch calendar). Would it be of interest also putting it up here? The book itself is very rare, and a translation of it some years ago was in a limited edition of only a 142 copies, so still hard to come by - so I don't think many people are very familiar with it.
