Horapollo - Paul Ferguson - 01-06-2024
Horapollo (from Horus Apollo; Greek: Ὡραπόλλων) is the supposed author of a treatise, titled Hieroglyphica, on Egyptian hieroglyphs, extant in a Greek translation by one Philippus, dating to about the 5th century.
Not specifically alchemical, but undoubtedly a source of much subsequent alchemical symbolism.
