Stolzenberg, Daniel.

Egyptian Oedipus : Athanasius Kircher and the secrets of antiquity / Daniel Stolzenberg.

Chicago ; London : The University of Chicago Press, 2013.

xi, 307 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm

"This book explores one part of Kirchner's encyclopedic corpus: his study of Egypt and the hieroglyphs. After two decades of toil, Kirchner brought this project to completion in his largest and most challenging work, Egyptian Oedipus, issued in four volumes in Rome in 1655 ... This book presents a new interpretation of Kirchner's project in terms of an encounter between two early modern intellectual traditions: erudition (antiquarian research and philology) and occult philosophy (the Renaissance Neoplatonic tradition, based on a lineage of esoteric wisdom attributed to extremely ancient pagan wise men)."--Introduction, p. 4-6.
