The Forgotten Language of Symbols. Decoding the Signs and Emblems of Mystical Societies of the Middle Ages

Famous English researcher Harold Bailey proposes an original theory of reading the language of symbols in his book. He believes that symbols were a means of communication and mutual encouragement for all initiated into the secrets of a specific sect.
The author studies the complex figures and symbols of the Gnostics, the hieroglyphic drawings of Masonic signs, the emblems of printers, and trade marks in the form of symbolic representations of animals and objects, considering them important historical documents that shed light on the development of European thought and many unclear problems of the past.
