Microcosmus Melothesia is a fine art poster produced by Ouroborus Press. Produced from an original ink illustration, the print measures 18 X 24 inches, and is screenprinted in three colors on cream paper, illuminated with rich gold, scribal black, and a firmament of gradient blues.
'The Homo Signorum, or Man of Signs, is a curious figure which appears in medieval astrological manuscripts. Known as the Melothesic Man or Moon’s Man in astrological medicine, it shows the signs of the zodiac on the specific parts of the body over which tradition has given them rulership. The Vierling melothesia demonstrates the hermetic ‘as above, so below’ motif wherein the microcosm has correspondence with the macrocosm. The emblem further reflects this with the serpent biting its tail, bringing to mind the ouroboros in the Codex Marcianus, which is accompanied by the Greek phrase EN TO PAN, or ALL in ALL'.
Limited to 72 hand-numbered copies. The print can be purchased directly from Ouroboros Press.
