A lost manuscript
The Figures in this material are illustrations to a lost manuscript.
They seem to illustrate a scientific or "sacred" text possibly
describing a system of geometrical bodies and colors as symbols for
fundamental principles. They appear to be related to the system
of platonic solids, though its structure seems more logic and also
permeated by a conception of the world built on circulation.
Together with these Figures was also a small book titled
"A small book on circular geometry" found. The book is about 15x17 cm,
containing 40 handmade drawings, all on the circle-theme, made with
white pencil on paper which looks as if it was dyed with a brownish
tint. The cover is made of white linen.
These books appear to be written by the same author.
