MANUSCRIT. [Egyptian and ancient writing "numeral key"]. ROBERT (Hercules) 1795-1871, former secretary general of the Ecole Polytechnique, corresponding member of the society of antiquaries of the West. Autograph manuscript signed, dated and located in Paris on July 10, 1855. 27 pages in-8 and one watercolor plate (27x21 cm), string binding. Manuscript entitled "Mémoire savant d'avant-propos, au mémoire intitulé Le Gaulois retrouvé". Very well argued text where the author founds his system that he calls "the numeral key", according to which he finds in the letters and symbols used by the ancient civilizations such as Egypt (quotes Champollion) to form the name of the planets and the number of days that they put to make their revolution. The watercolor that illustrates the manuscript represents the god of Memphis Phat.
