A collection of noble coats of arms and their descriptions, tentatively identified by [[Zirkoff, Boris|B. de Zirkoff]] as the reference work named by [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]].

Genesis +

The whole of the Book of Genesis down to the death of Joseph, is found to he a hardly altered version of the Cosmogony of the Chaldeans, as is now repeatedly proven from the Assyrian tiles. The first three chapters are transcribed from the allegorical narratives of the beginnings common to all nations. Chapters four and five are a new allegorical adaptation of the same narration in the secret ''Book of Numbers''; chapter six is an astronomical narrative of the Solar year and the seven ''cosmocratores ''from the Egyptian original of the Pymander and the symbolical visions of a series of ''Enoichioi ''(Seers) — from whom came also the Book of Enoch. The beginning of Exodus, and the story of Moses is that of the Babylonian Sargon, who having flourished (as even that unwilling authority Dr. Sayce tells us) 3750 B.C. preceded the Jewish lawgiver by almost 2300 years. (See ''Secret Doctrine'', vol. II., pp. 691 et seq.) Nevertheless, ''Genesis ''is an undeniably esoteric work. It has not borrowed, nor has it disfigured the universal symbols and teachings on the lines of which it was written, but simply adapted the eternal truths to its own national spirit and clothed them in cunning allegories comprehensible only to its Kabbalists and Initiates. The Gnostics have done the same, each sect in its own way, as thousands of years before, India, Egypt, Chaldea and Greece, had also dressed the same incommunicable truths each in its own national garb. The key and solution to all such narratives can be found ''only in the esoteric teachings.'' [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +
