This category contains the letters of a "Blooming Samaritan" (Floridus Samaritanus Character) alphabet, as presented by S.I. Athanasius Kircher in his 1679 book Turris Babel. In the book, these letters are said to be a form of the Samaritan script, as retrieved by the author from the works of Juan Bautista Villalpando, and from various coins (ex Vilalpando nummisque extractus).

The files have been cropped and cut out from the book djvu file, especially from file page 211 (page number 157 in book pagination)
