Daniel, Master of Magicians/Name of Names

The first section of this tiny work is a fine discussion of what the Bible really says about astrology, using as a backdrop the story of Daniel (also known as Belteshazzar), the “rab chartomia” or “chief astrologer/master of magicians” in Nebuchadnezzar’s court.

The second part of the booklet is a discussion of what Christian Kabbalists would call the pentegrammaton, the 5-lettered Name of God (or “Name of Names”), and its relation to the tetragrammaton, or 4-lettered ineffable Name of God, found in the Hebrew Bible.
