According to the narrative legends recorded in the magical corpus of Al-Buni’s writings as well as by others, it was the device used by Adam to name all things; by Solomon to summon both angels and demons, and was given to Muhammad by the archangel Gabriel[2]. While some claim a possible Mandaean origin to the symbol[3], and versions of it can be found in Jewish Kabbalistic writings as well[4], Hans Winkler posits an Assyro-Babylonian pedigree[5]. | According to the narrative legends recorded in the magical corpus of Al-Buni’s writings as well as by others, it was the device used by Adam to name all things; by Solomon to summon both angels and demons, and was given to Muhammad by the archangel Gabriel[2].
