The Alphabet of the Magi is an alphabet used for composing talismans. Theseus Ambrosius (b. 1469) included it in his Introductio in chaldaicam linguam, attributing it to the angel Raphiel from the Book of Fire (Liber Ignis). Claude Duret (1570?-1611) included it in his Thesor (1613, p. 117) under the name "the characters of the angel Raphael" (sic, also spelled Raphiel), citing Ambrosius. Edmund Fry also included it in his Pantographia (pp. 28-29), stating: S.L. MacGregor Mathers included it in his 1888 edition of the Key of Solomon (plate XV) under the name "Alphabet of the Magi."
