Here is another illustration from a Hebrew book. Unfortunately, I can not find a more detailed description of it. Maybe there is something more detailed on the first page of the book, but I can't read Hebrew.

I see several old familiar friends on that page and the following one, bi3mw. The earliest specimens of the Sefer Ratziel ha-Malakh definitely predate the most likely dates of the VMS’s composition, though not by a lot.
Were Kabbalah-related works in much circulation beyond Jewish intellectual and esoteric circles in the late Middle Ages? I know knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic was present among many well-educated Europeans who were not Jewish, especially for the purpose of going to the original texts of Biblical books.

At least as far as this book is concerned:
Quote:Early humanists, such as Johannes Trithemius (1462-1516) and Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim (1486-1535), used the Sefer Raziel as an extensive source of quotations for their works. Nikolaus von Kues (1401-1464), Johannes Reuchlin (1455-1522), and Guillaume Postel (1510-1581) were also familiar with this book.
