gematria

[solomon levi]

I'm studying the gematria of alchemical terminology this weekend.
Here's a taste of what I've found so far in just the latin gematria:

regulus martis - 174
mercurius vitae - 175
circulatum majus - 175
argentum vivum - 175
spiritus vini - 176

some more interesting matches:

37 - calx, arena, albedo

60 - urina, acetum

64 - terrae, via sicca

66 - magnesia
67 - arcanum, sal gemma

70 - ars magna, aurum

72 - cinabris
73 - alkahest, athanor, elixir

89 - stibium
90 - nitrum, terra adamica

94 - argentum, leo viride, anima mundi

117 - lac virginis, conjuctio
118 - prima materia

121 - mercurius, aqua fortis
122 - antimonium
123 - hieros gamos, Nicholas Flamel

156 - acetum acerrimum, sanguis leonis


here's the big one!:

Ora, lege, lege, lege, relege, labora et invenies = 328
Jesus Nazarenus Rex Judaeorum = 328; also = 3497 according to Agrippa's system, and...
Visita Interiora Terrae Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem = 3497 according to Agrippa's system.

Also looking at names of philosophers.
Here's a couple interesting ones:

Alexander Seton
Seton is an anagram for stone.
Alexander is hal ex andro, the salt out of man.
The salt out of man is the stone.
A couple philosophers mention this path - urine or blood.
I'm not familiar enough with Seton to know if this is the path he describes.

Andreas Libavius
Has to be a cabalist. Lib avius, bird lips...
speaks the language of the birds.

Nicholas Flamel
Nicholas means Nike laos, victory stone, or...
triumphal stone (of antimony). This is the path he describes.
