	Guillaume Postel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Guillaume Postel (1510 - 1581), was a French linguist, astronomer, Cabbalist, diplomat, professor, and religious universalist.
		In 1536, seeking an alliance with the Ottoman Turks, Francis I sent Postel as the official interpreter of the French embassy to the Turkish sultan Suleiman the Magnificent in Constantinople.
		Postel was a relentless advocate for the unification of all Christian churches, a common concern during the period of the Reformation, and remarkably tolerant of other faiths during a time when such tolerance was unusual.

		Postel indicates that the fourth age is not only the age of restitution in which all things are to be restored, but also the age which is superior to the other three.
		Postel state positively that until the fourth age of restitution comes and the unity of God is realized by His creatures, God's glory is a nothing.

		Postel was apparently charged with the specific mission of collecting oriental manuscripts for the king’s library and it was probably thought that he could also act as an interpreter on account of his knowledge of oriental languages.
		The fact that he did indeed go on this trip and that he collected oriental manuscripts, and scientific ones for that matter, is indisputable, for it is clearly attested in at least one note (slide 26) on one Arabic astronomical manuscript.
		The rest of Postel’s life does not concern us directly at this point, but it should be probably said that during his various travels he almost always passed through northern Italy, and through Venice in particular, and that he did so both before and after his two documented trips to the east.

		This study examines one of the most unusual figures of the sixteenth century, Guillaume Postel, who believed that a female messiah had arrived on earth who would usher in a new age of political and religious harmony.
		Postel has often been viewed as a marginal figure, whose unconventional views preclude comparison with his contemporaries.
		However, this study suggests that Postel used his prophecy to participate in two arenas: Reformation controversy and the querelle des femmes or debate about women.

	Joseph Justus Scaliger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He read Homer in twenty-one days, and then went through all the other Greek poets, orators and historians, forming a grammar for himself as he went along.
		From Greek, at the suggestion of Guillaume Postel, he proceeded to attack Hebrew, and then Arabic; of both he acquired a respectable knowledge.
		Jean Dorat as a teacher was able not only to impart knowledge, but to kindle enthusiasm.

		Provides a context for a Venetian print maker, Matteo Pagano's view of Cairo, a translation of Guillaume Postel's text, and a commentary on the contents of the engraving itself in addition to the accompanying narrative.
		In 1549, a Venetian print maker, Matteo Pagano, published a large engraving of an aerial view of the city of Cairo; it was accompanied by a Latin text ("Descriptio Alchiriae") written by the orientalist scholar, Guillaume Postel.
		The depiction of the city is sufficiently accurate to permit a detailed interpretation of the city to be made, and it remained the standard western representation of this fabled eastern city for the next 250 years.

		The Hebraist Guillaume Postel (1510-1581) supplied a Latin version of the Sefer Yetzirah with his own mystical comments ten years before the first Hebrew edition of 1562 was printed.
		This was not the only Hebrew work Postel translated: the printer Daniel Bomberg who in 1520 had published the Babylonian Talmud, dedicated to Pope Leo X, supplied Postel with copies of the Sefer ha-Bahir and the Zohar.
		Most of the translations made by Postel remained in manuscript.

		Born in northern France, Postel made his home in the vicinity of Paris.Adept at Arabic, Hebrew, and Syriac and other Semitic languages, as well as the Classical languages of Ancient Greek and Latin, he soon came to the attention of the French court.
		After several years, however, Postel resigned his professorship and travelled all over Central Europe, including Austria and Italy, returning to France after each trip.Through Postels efforts at manuscript collection, translation, and publishing, he brought many Greek, Hebrew and Arabic texts into European intellectual discourse in the Late Renaissance and Early Modern periods.
		During one of his trips to Venice, Postel, who had long harbored millenarian ideas, fell under the influence of the Venetian mystic Joanna, who claimed to be the incarnation of Jesus Christ.

		The Polar Aspect of the Azimuthal Equidistant Projection§ is thought to have been used for celestial charts by the ancient Eqyptians, though the oldest surviving map of this kind was crafted in 1426 by Conrad of Dyffenbach.
		It has gone by the names of several subsequent reinventors: Glareanus (1510), Guillaume Postel (1581), and Antonio Cagnoli (1799).
		Only distances and directions measured from the center are true, but the simplicity of its equally spaced concentric parallels and radiating meridians makes it among the most readily grasped, and hence most timeless, of maps.

		Besides this point of view the present papyri allow to affront with more solidity the problem of early Islamic culture, in order to put it with more precision in its century and to clarify the problem of its transmission.
		Guillaume Postel (1510-1581), lecteur royal in the court of Francis I, believed that Hebrew was the original language in which God spoke to Adam from ``behind the vel''.
		Postel's theory of the unitary origin of the language was intimately related to his political theory of a universal state and to his religious concept of all men united in the love and praise of God and in the love and help of mankind.

	Hebraic Political Studies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Abstract: In the Renaissance debate over Jewish books, in which the famous Hebraist Johannes Reuchlin was deeply involved, those with the greatest interest in leaving Jewish books in the hands of the Jews were Christian Hebraists who studied and employed Kabbala and other Hebrew sources as part of their political theology.
		Petrus Galatinus and Guillaume Postel are studied here as two such thinkers, who found in the Hebrew sources, and in particular in the Hebrew letters of the Old Testament text, the most convincing evidence of the truth of their eschatological endeavors.
		Political concepts from the Hebrew Bible were, for Postel and Galatinus, transformed into Christological ideas, and politics, with a view to the proper theological-eschatological end, was also to be transformed.

	The New York Review of Books: BODIN'S DEMONS
		I agree with Frances Yates that Postel belongs to a different line from Bodin, but in no way does this alter the fact that Bodin used Postel in the work clandestinely circulated under the title Colloquium Heptaplomerers; the internal and external evidence will be revealed in my book on Postel which will be appearing shortly.
		However, concerning the Bodin manuscripts and concerning Professor Kuntz's work on Bodin and Postel, it would be pointless to argue until we have the further information promised in her forthcoming studies, to which I look forward with the greatest interest.
		In the meantime I assure her that I do indeed appreciate the magnitude of the task which she undertook in producing single-handedly a translation and critical edition of this formidable work.

		Anima means "female soul," which is derived from the roots an, "heavenly," and ma, "mother," and remembering the ancient times when all souls were thought to come from the Heavenly Mother.
		In the 16th Century Guillaume Postel stated that all souls possessed male and female halves, the animus and anima.
		The male half had been redeemed by Christ, but the female half was still unredeemed and awaited a female saviour.

	The Kabbalah and Freemasonry
		In the sixteenth century, the appearance of Kabbalistic texts in Latin translation enhanced attempts to draw further parallels between esoteric Jewish doctrines and Christianity.
		Guillaume Postel translated and published the Zohar and Sefer Yetzirah into Latin even before they were published in Hebrew.
		Latin texts in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were influential in standardizing "Cabala" as the spelling commonly associated with the Christian perspective on Kabbalistic teachings.

		In a world suddenly bereft of its medieval moorings, a new and intoxicating vision of man's potentialities had opened up.
		Predictably, the results ranged from a theological backlash of unprecedented severity to the wild milleniarist expectations of such figures as Charles de Bouelles and Guillaume Postel.
		They included the reformation and the rise of national consciousness in northern Europe, and were not diminished either by the exploitation of the newly discovered printing press or the wave of economic prosperity and inflation which spread eastwards from Spain as western European economies reacted to the influx of precious metals from the new world.
