This category contains the letters of a Mosaic alphabet, as presented by S.I. Athanasius Kircher in his 1679 book Turris Babel. In the book, these letters are said to be the ones in which the Prophet wrote the Tables of the Law, and are alleged to be an ancient form of Hebrew/Assyrian script. Kircher also states that the letters have been reconstruted ex variis Rabbinorum monumentis, "from various recollections of the Rabbis"
