Description

The Book of Wisdom of Apollonius of Tyana: Apotelesmata Apollonii A 12th-century Greek magical text, this book lists the names of natural phenomena and talismans to control them. The text survives in eight manuscripts, with descriptions of apotelesmata preserved in Latin and Arabic renditions. The Book of Wisdom is believed to have been composed in Constantinople in the late 12th century CE, drawing on sources including the Testament of Adam and traditions about Apollonius' telesmata. The text lists magical names for the four seasons, twenty-four hours, sun, moon, heaven, earth, and quarters during each season. This ancient Greek text was first introduced to Western Europe in the early 13th century, influencing the development of various magical books, including the Liber Lunae and the Heptameron.
