Thesis 11>55

Latin

Quod dicunt Cabalistae, lumen repositum in septuplo lucere plus quam lumen relictum, mirabiliter conuenit arithmeticae pythagoricae.

That the Cabalists hold the light restored in the seventh to shine brighter than the light that was left behind agrees, remarkably, with Pythagorean number theory.

'seventh' is the seventh sefirah; Farmer's note ties the Pythagorean correspondence to thesis 25.5, where seven symbolizes the intellect's 'beatifying power' (farmer1998:27603).
