Talisman Turc : ein Beitrag zur magisch-quadratischen Dechiffrierung von Liebes- und Krankheits-Amuletten zum Ursprung und Wesen magischer Quadrate sowie zur wissenschaftlichen Periodologie
A 1926 German study by Ferdinand Maack, printed near Dresden, analysing magic squares in Turkish love and illness amulets and arguing about their origin, nature and periodicity, written for occultists and mathematically curious readers. The plates are letterpress grids of numerals in ruled boxes, some chained by plus and equals signs, offering designers clean numeric tables, cell lattices and figure captions for typographic collage.
