I’m delighted to announce that my new translation and full length study of Horapollon’s Hieroglyphica is now available for pre-order from the publisher. We will have a confirmed printing date in the next few days; it goes to print imminently.
This new English translation directly from the original Greek opens a door for both curious readers and scholars alike, balancing rich context with a sharp, reliable rendering—sidestepping the pitfalls of past efforts.
In this full length scholarly study, Sasha Chaitow has unearthed three groundbreaking insights that reshape our grasp of the Hieroglyphica:
Compelling evidence points to its roots in oral tradition, likely penned by a student of Horapollon; a vivid blend of Alexandrian syncretism, Greek Neoplatonism, Hermetic currents; and traces of late antique alchemical hermeneutics woven between its lines.
These revelations demand a fresh, urgent look at this remarkable manuscript.
