Théorie du Monde et des Êtres Organisés
Paris, 1784

Theorie du Monde et des Êtres Organisés

This page, added at the back of the Théorie, is a key to the symbols used throughout the French text. The symbols were engraved and their meanings were written in by hand. With this key, you can read the text; for example, the delta in the top left corner means "Dieu" (God), the next symbol means "matter", the next "movement", and so on. To see a close-up of the symbols, click here or anywhere on the picture above.
