An alternative attempt to refine Bessler’s Maschinen Tractate.

[John Collins]

I received am email from a person wishes to remain anonymous and has chosen the pseudonym Violet Hepatica for reasons I know not. I’m not even sure if they are male or female. I pointed out Ovyyus’ s excellent work which they were unaware of. But they offered to publish their work so far.

From their latest email:

“The blog I have just made public: https://orffyre.blogspot.com/?m=1 if there are errors or missing quotes, I'm here available. I hope I have published something interesting or that can help.�

Here is the link.

Seems like very nice work.

Thanks John.

I am busy downloading each image to have a local image on my computer.

I would like to extend my appreciation to those who spend their time in extending the accessibility to Besslers reference material.

In the seal shown above, we can observe an arrangement of several elements:

1) Two twigs joined by a node given by a ribbon.
2) The words HTAR ORFFYRE, followed by the initials D.M.M.p.M.
3) A crown overlying the entire seal.


The two twigs seem to be according to the interpretation of John Collins, branches of the arundo donax, a plant used in the past in the construction of musical organs, however, in my opinion seem to be twigs of palm.

The palm symbolized the siege suffered by the city, the martyrdom through which a hard spiritual ascent was begun, aimed at the coronation of a goal of great value.

The words HTAR ORFFYRE, would mean "Rath Orffyre", or Orrfyre Councilor. "Orffyre was appointed councilor in 1716 by Lord Charles Langrave of Hessel-Kassel.



The acronym D. M. M. p. M .: it would mean: Doctor. Musician. Mathematical. Perpetual. Mobile.

In this acronym we can immediately see how the p was written in small letters compared to the rest. All letters, with the exception of p, can be interpreted as Roman numerals. The following alphabetic values ​​are then obtained:


D + M + M + p + M = 500 + 1000 + 1000 + p + 1000

"p" is assuming that the alphabet used is 24 letters, the fifteenth letter of the alphabet. In fact, in the past, the letter I and the letter J were used with an ambivalent meaning. The same applies to the U / V.

The result is therefore: 500 + 1000 + 1000 + 15 + 1000 = 3515

or

3 x 5 = 15

A code that would refer to the book Euclidis Elementorum BOOKS XV, Liber IV, propos. 16, already cited in a cryptic key, on the page of the wheel of Apologia Poetica. In this section of the book it is shown how to divide a circle into 15 parts by using a triangle and a pentagon.

Another possible interpretation is that the "p" indicates the number 15 but with reference to the fifteenth name of God IH, Jah.


Above the hidden meanings, the interpretation is as follows:

The spiritual ascent accomplished through martyrdom and the hard struggles faced in the course of life (Palm twigs), and absolutely indispensable and indissoluble (Node of the ribbon) from the path that allows the coronation, (crown) of multiple honors and titles.

So, they have here simply quoted my code-work..

But we all know it's nonsense :-)

I will soon post a little more about where it is actually leading. It's just not some numbers and some geometric figures. Yes, the methods was and still is an intellectual "secret"/internal tradition, but Bessler ultimately did it to finally lead us to a special mechanical instrument, a mechanism called "a kreutz" by early astrologers/seers , astronomers and finally navigators.
