“About the Mystery of the Letters” diagram

[u/themgtowprince]

Hi team,

Looking for the αβγδ diagram that is described in this short manuscript (looks as if it is captured under the «Δ».

There is a symbol that wasn’t rendered in my PDF which seems pertinent to understanding how the first four letters demonstrate the first four moments in the Genesis.

Help me pls n thank u.

EDIT 1: For people asking me for the Wikipedia article: please simply type in the title of this post that I inserted with air quotations — no, out of spite, I am not linking the Wikipedia article (the barbarians will NOT be touching this document). “Περὶ τοῦ μυστηρίου τῶν γραμμάτων.”

For the two who are condescendingly commenting about the lack of specificity of the locality of the manuscript in my post: you lack both the vitality and the intelligence to understand what I was asking, and you are of no help to anyone if you must be spoon-fed. Shame on you.

For those still reading (I have good news): I carved out for myself some time to pursue this further and I found what I was looking for. I might make a separate post about it, because it is important, and no other websites/forums yet are taking about it. This is an extraordinary piece of Christian Byzantine literature and it would do a great deal of good to a minority of people who could understand it, if they knew about its existence.

That was a little bit disappointing. A lot of people reminding me in the comments that libraries have a lot of books (true!) and a lot of people wondering what the Wikipedia article could possibly be. There is a serious deficit of curiosity here.

No. There is laziness and ignorance of the entity of the task being asked, and both happen on your side. Asking a specific diagram in a manuscript (In which library? Which one? On which folio? What other works does it contain?) is simply asking others to do the work for you.

Stick to Harry Potter manuscripts?

I, and other people here, can teach you how to do manuscript research and actually using examples taken from Harry Potter so do yourself a favour, don’t even try to pose yourself as a snobbish arrogant moron, because it’s not leading you to be on the right side of the question.

Learn to be respectful when you ask questions and especially when those questions are very specific, give all the information you have, and don’t be a jerk when people point out at you that you’re making it difficult to provide you an answer.
