Thesis 11>56

Latin

Qui sciuerit explicare quaternarium in denarium habebit modum, si sit peritus Cabalae, deducendi ex nomine ineffabili nomen .lxxii. litterarum.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 27538

The sheet's '.1xxii.' reads the roman numeral 'lxxii' (72) with a digit '1' for the letter 'l', an OCR confusion; resolved here to '.lxxii.'.

English

Whoever can unfold the four into the ten, provided he is skilled in the Cabala, holds the method for drawing the seventy-two-letter name out of the ineffable name.

'unfold the four into the ten' = 1+2+3+4=10; the ineffable name is YHVH, and the seventy-two-letter name is drawn from it by numerical operations Farmer says are not documented for Pico (farmer1998:27609).
