A RECENTLY DISCOVERED EPISTOLARY FRAGMENT
OF POSTEL: AN HYPOTHESIS CONCERNING THE ADDRESSEE
The conclusion of a fragmentary letter written in Postel's hand and
dated August 15, 1553 has been recently discovered in Hamburg •1 The
fragment is as follows:
-hotlol"l·s---et- amoris gratia primo in amicorum loco pono. Bullingherus Gesnerus Rodolfus et reliqui am1c1 non obmi ttentur. Vbi eri t qui ad vos r.breh et Ial cut si tamen prodiit deferat ego vestri memor fuero. Vale. 15. Augusti 1553. post scriptam epistolam resciui Jalcut non fuisse Veneti is recuslJll sed fvbreh tan tum.
Tuus ex animo Giulielmus Postellus
The brief but significant statements in this document whet one's desire to discover the remaining portion of the letter and to ascertain the
addressee. Postel evidently sent the 1 etter from Venice, for on 17
August, 1553 he directed a letter to Caspar Schwenkfeld from the house
of the Giunti •2 One is aware that on the same date, August 15, 1553
Postel wrote a letter to the Basel publisher, Johannes Oporinus.3 In
this long letter Postel writes of the significance of the Zohar, which he had recently translated and sent to Oporinus •4 He relates the Zohar
1The manuscript is located in the Staats und Universitatsbibliothek, Hamburg, Codex 69 in scrinio (no. 122, 238). I am deeply indebted to Professor Paul Oskar Kristeller for calling this text to my atten~ion and to Dr. Eva Horvath for providing me with a microfilm.
See the British Library, Sloane ms. 1413, fols. 120-121. A second letter was written to Schwenkfeld some time after 1553 in which Postel writes: "Servate epistolam 1553 scriptam, ut ad An nos 1556 paremini sicut in die bus Nohae." Ibid., fol. 122. From the context one notes that Postel and Schwenkfeld were expecting the "restitutio omnium" to take place in 1556. When this did not happen, Postel amended the date to 15~6.
The British Library, Sloane ms. 1413, fols. 116-117v. Also see Fran~ois Secret, BibUotMque d'Humanisme et Renaissanae 25 (1963) pp. 216-2p.
Postel speaks of beginning his translation of the Zohar in 1547 in
235
to the Gospels and the efficacy of the sacrament of bread and wine.5 He also indicates his support for the German reformers who shatter the lethargy of the clergy.6 He expresses the bold opinion that the restitution of all things must come from Germany and that if his beliefs cause him prob 1 ems with the Roman Church, he is prepared to suffer for the truth J
Postel appends a postscript to the Hamburg fragment, stating that "post scriptam epistolam resciui Jalcut non fuisse Venetiis recusum sed rvbreh tantum."8 Three days before Postel wrote this letter a papal order had condemned the Talmud and similar books to the pyre.9 The key

For the complicated history of Postel's two translations of the Zohar see Antonio Rotondo, Studi e ricerche di storia ereticale italiana del cinquecento (Torino, 1974: Edizioni Giappichelli) pp. 119-159. Also see Fran~ois Secret, Les Kabbalistes chretiens de la renaissance (Paris, 1964: Dunod), pp. 171-217; Le Zohar chez les kabbaUstes chretiens de l( renaissance (Paris, 1958: Librairie Durlacher) pp. 51-114.
5The British Library, Sloane ms. 1413, fol. 116v. ~Ibid. , fol. 116. Ibid., fol. 117. He expresses similar views about the restitution
of all things evolving in Germany in Bibliotheque nationale, fonds lat. 3401, fols. 36-70v, entitled Quod Germanorum Scriptores doctissimi incoeperint lucem originum verarum attingere, et a Gomero deducere. He writes of the transfer of authority to Germany: "Certe nullo iure potuissent in Germaniam a Gallis transferre, nisi quia Deus sic modum dulcissimum in septem Cophniorum Germanicae electionis disposuit, vt castigarentur egregie dum tempus a Domino praestitutum, v t nunc, adess§t." fol. 68.
Ialcut or Yalkut Shimon! is a midrashic anthology covering the whole Bible. Isaac Abrabanel was the first to mention the Yalkut. An edition by Meir Prinz was published in Venice in 1566. See Encyclopaedia Judaica (Jerusalem, 1971: The Macmillan Company) Vol. XVI, pp. 707-710. Also see Jo. Christoph. Wolfii, Bibliothecae Hebraeae (Hamburg et Lipsiae, 1727) Vol. III, pp. 1190-1191.
Postel mentions Ialcut as one of numerous Hebrew witnesses to the truths about the restitution of all things as unfolded to him by the Venetian Virgin, the myst e rious Mother Johanna. He writes , as follows, in Le Prime Nove del aUro mondo (Padova , 1955) sig. Giiv: "Quanto 'e di queste cose ho qua l! sono tanto cerca de lla Madre del mondo come circa di me ••• in innumerabili luoghi, et autorita delli secreti interpret! se ne troua testimonii, come nel libro Diuinissimo et Rarissimo del Zohar, cosi nelli Rabboth, Midrass Ialcut, Hagadoth, Bariathoth, Ilanoth, et principalmente nelli interpret! delli 10 Sefi roth et della Mercaua et di tutti libri di Cabala. " He mentions these sources and others in H Libra della divina ordinatione (Padova , 1555) sigs . Ciiiiv-D.
236
question, however, is whether the fragment of six lines and its
postscript is an addendum to the letter to Oporinus dated 15 August,
1553 or is the conclusion to another yet unknown addressee. It is
frustrating that the object of pono in the first line of the fragment is
missing. Postel evidently named a person to be "in the first order of
friends." He then states that Bullinger, Gesner, and Rudolphe
(Gwalterius) and the rest of his friends will not be neglected,
apparently from his friendship.
One can argue that the mention of Bullinger, Gesner, and Rodolfus
(Rudol phe Gwal terius) as friends 1 inks the letter to the reformers at
Basel and ZUrich. Since Postel had already sent his translation of the
Zohar to Oporinus, it would seem logical for him also to send Moreh and
IaLcut, Hebrew texts from which Postel drew many of his ideas.10 Postel
states that he will send the books as soon as someone is available to
bring them. In addition, in the concluding lines of one of Postel's
1 etters to Opori nus he speaks of his Secretorum aeternorum expositio, and the context of the fragment under consideration is not inappropriate
to the tone of the Opori nus 1 etter .11
However, there are certain problems which cause uncertainty about
the fragment as a postscript to the Oporinus letter. For example, would
Postel redate a postscript and sign his name for a second time to a
letter with the exact date and with the identical farewell signature?
It seems unlikely.
There are other possibilities to be considered as one attempts to
identify the person to whom Postel sent this 1 etter. Fran~oi s Secret
has pub 1 i shed part of a 1 etter, written by Opori nus to Francesco Ci ceri ,
the Milanese humanist, in which document Oporinus recommends Postel to
Ci ceri •12 Opori nus wrote to Ci ceri on 17 June , 1553 • On July 25, 1553
Ciceri wrote a warm letter to Postel expressing his great admiration for
9see Paul F. Grendler, The Roman Inquisition and the Venetian Press, L540-l605 (Princeton, 1977: Princeton University Press) PP• 89-92.
10Since all Hebrew books were quickly becoming suspect, Postel obviously knew and trusted the person to whom he was going to send IaLcut and Moreh. Also see above, notes 8 and 9.
1~The British Library, Sloane ms. 1413, fol. 117v. 1 Fran<;ois Secret, "Postel et Francesco Ciceri," BibLioth~que
d'Humanisme et Renaissance 23 (1961) pp. 549-550.
237
Postel whan he knew only through his works. However, Postel, some time
after Ciceri's letter of 25 July, 1553, visited Ciceri since in a letter
of September, 1553 Ciceri writes to Oporinus about Postel's stay.
The Hamburg fragment of 15 August, 1553 could be the conclusion of
a letter from Postel to Ciceri in response to Ciceri's kind letter of 25
July, 1553. However, the sentence about sending Moreh and IaLcut makes
this hypothesis dubious. It seems unlikely that the 1 etter was directed
to one of those who are mentioned in the letter, namely Bullinger,
Gesner, or Rodolfus, although Postel was indeed corresponding with
Bullinger during the summer of 1553 •
Finally, the fragment could be part of a letter to Postel's beloved
Masius to whom he often sent rare books as well as numerous letters. In
a letter to Mlsius written without indication of place or date, Postel
writes of Gilgul, the mind of the M:!ssiah, the Zohar, and also Atarah, "de illa egi in Ilan quia omnes spiritus mundi in earn incumbunt." 13 The
last line of this letter reads "Vale et tuum Postellum ama."
The fragment which we have been discussing could well be the
conclusion or afterthought of Postel to Mlsius after he had already
written "Farewell and love your Postel." Postel in the fragment
declares that someone or possibly something is placed in the first order
of friends. It is true that Mlsius was the friend most beloved to
Postel. In addition, he remarks that he will send IaLcut and Moreh as
soon as a carrier is available. One can reasonably presume that the
fragment fran Hamburg may be the conclusion and postscription to the
letter which Postel wrote to Mlsius.
A 1 though no positive determination about the Hamburg fragment can
be made, I tentatively suggest that it is the conclusion to the undated
letter to Mlsius. At any rate, this epistolary fragment provides
interest, as well as another problem, for those who are concerned with
the labyrinth of Postel's associations and ideas.

APPENDIX II
POSTEL ON THE HIGHEST GRADE OF NOURISHMENT
In addition to Postel's voluminous writings which are known , other hitherto unknown documents in Postel's hand continue to be discovered.1
A brief, but significant, text located in Hamburg is an example •2
Postel wrote this text sometime after 1579' as the heading indicates. The document seems to be an introduction to a larger work , and its context focuses upon an idea which became a central theme for Poste 1 from 1566 unti 1 his death in 1581 • Poste 1 speaks of the need for two kinds of nourishment; namely, physical and spiritual food. He emphasizes that one highest grade of nourishment is essential if man is to enjoy eterna 1 1 i fe •
The si gni fi cance of spi ri tua 1 food becomes paramount after Poste 1 witnesses an exorcism in Laon in 1566. A demon was driven from a young girl, Nicole Obrey, when the host (or spiritual food) was placed before the face of the tormented teenager.3 Postel interpreted this "miracle
1 In addition to t he manusc ript f rom Hamburg which will be discusse d below, a hitherto unknown letter of Postel to Cardinal Granvelle was discovered recently in the National Library of Madrid. I am deeply indebted to Professor Paul Oskar Kristeller for bringing the Madrid and the Hamburg manuscripts of Postel to my attention. I am also grateful to Dr. Eva Horvath for providing me with a microfilm of the Hamburg manuscript. For the doc umenta tion of the Gra nvelle letter, s e e below, note ~9.

of Laon" as a sign that the universal restitution of all things was imminent.4 The reformation of the world was urgently proclaimed by Postel under his self-designated title, Rorispergius, or "Scatterer of the Dew ." 5
Postel had been "divinely ordained" by the mysterious Venetian Virgin whom he met at the Ospedaletto di SS. Giovanni e Paolo in 1547 in Venice. 1\bther Johanna, whom he also called the Mater rrundi and the Vergine Veneziana, had explained to him all the mysteries inherent in the Zohar and the secret books of the Hebrews, and she had proclaimed him as her first-born son, whose task it was to scatter God's "dew."6
where one reads: "Et comme nous penssions par 1' espace de trois ans quasi expires, depuis nostre excrit, la memoire du faict en estre perdue, ainsi que le temps met toutes chases en oubly, lors Boulaese, professeur des lettres Hebraicques, inspercement est surunenu, bien accompagne des lettres commodes et pertinentes a sa charge: lequel en ses pre cedens voyages n' ayant peu par tels laps de temps et frequentes instances arracher de noz mains ce petit commentaire • • [in margine] Boulaese a Laon pour ce faict l'an 1566 et 1569.

signs numerous works under the name of Postel
240
This divine "dew" is God's manna, the bread with which man is nourished physically and spiritually. The power and the spiritual bread working in the demoniac girl at Laon reaffirmed for Postel his belief that the universal reformation was at hand. Rorispergius, the name by which Postel designated his role as prophet of the restitution of all things, was frequently used by Postel from 1566 thereafter to indicate his "special dispensation and divine ordination." As "first-born son" of the
Venetian Virgin, he was clothed with the body of Ephraim in the spirit and virtue of Elias.? As "Jambaptiste Rorisperge Astrologue souverain"
he believed himself to be the one to bring forth from Paris the prediction of the holy magic and true astrology.8
In Postel's mind what took place in Laon in 1566 was an example of holy magic. He wrote of the miracle for the first time under the name of Petrus Anusius Synesius in a book published in 1566 and entitled: De summopere consyderando miraculo victoriae corporis Christi. In the same year, he wrote a second time about the miracle in a text called De Romanae Cabalae admirandis. • • mysteriis and under the name of Petrus Anusius Venetus •9 He also spoke of the miracle of Laon in a text entitled De locali statu aut positione Corporis Christi in sacramentis, et quod localiter adorari et eripi debeat .10
In the Hamburg manuscript in Postel's handwriting he states that the 1 i fe of the body endures through aUmentum; that the highest grade of nourishment is the one which gives "to man the eternity of corporeal 1 ife ." 11 This manuscript served as a preface to another work which is mentioned in the text (in hoc opere agitur, ex Authoritate ) whose theme was very likely the efficacy of spiritual bread. It is almost certain
6Postel lionizes the Venetian Virgin in almost all his works written from 1547 to his death in 1581. See especially, however, his Les Tr~s MerveiHeuses Victoires des femmes (1553), Le Prime Nove del altro mondo (1555) and Il Libra della divina ordinatione (1555).

that the text which this manuscript served to introduce was related to the other manuscripts noted above, which detailed the miracle of Laon.
In addition, the missing work, of which this text is a part, may
also have dealt with the possibility of extending physical life, since Postel writes in this manuscript of one highest grade which "det homini Aethernitatem corporeae vitae." Postel's statement about the eternity of corporeal life which is nourished by the "highest grade of good" is an
extension of his concept of hylomorphism and indicates a metaphysical argument rather than a metaphysical statement alone. In Postel's metaphysics form and matter are together, not apart, and one cannot be spoken of without the other .12 Postel often emphasizes that fonn is drawn from matter; that the formed object is both form and matter; that unformed matter contains the fonn to be drawn from it. This concept of the unity of form and matter, which Postel speaks of as omnia in omnibus, is basic to his metaphysics and is the foundation for all his religious and political views of a united monarchy governed by the one true God whose agents on earth are high priest and king.
Postel observes no dualism in the relation of mind (spirit) and body. In numerous writings he equates the parts of the body and their functions to the grades of the spirit •13 Consequently, Postel could argue logically from his basic metaphysics that, since fonn and matter are united, the spirit or mind is the form of the body, and the body is
12The unity of form and matter i s reflected in a ll of Postel's numerous works. See especially, however, Liber de causis (1552) , rrav6t:vwo f a (l547) , AbsconditOYWTI• • • C~avis (1547), Les Tr~s Mervei~~euses Victoires des femmes (1553), Le Prime Nove de~ a~tro mundo (1555), and I~ Libra de~~a divina ordinatione (1555); a lso, The British Library, Sloane ms. 1411, passim.
Postel's views on form and matter seem t o resemble those of Ibn Gabirol. See Jacques Schlanger, La Phi~osophie de Sa~omon Ibn Gabiro~ (Leide~, 1968: E. J . Brill), especially pp. 216-272 .
1 Postel was a medicus, and he often used his knowledge of medicine and the parts of the body to illustrate the unity of variety in God, as well as the relations hip of the bodily parts to the modes of be ing or celestial grades . See, for example, The British Libra r y , Sloane ms. 1411, fols. 153, 209-210. In a letter to Bullinger, dated June 24, 1553, Postel indicates that he is not afraid of the plague which rages in Besan<;on because he knows the medical art, and "praeterea judicem deum mihi vitae periodum praescripsisse certissimus sum ." See Geo rges Weill, De Gulie~mi PosteUi vita et indo~e ( Lu tetiae, 1892 : Hachett e ) P • 115.

formed matter. If nourishment from the highest grade of power
strengthens the spirit, why should it not also preserve the body from
decay?
In the Hamburg manuscript, Postel emphasizes that
understand the relationship of physical and spiritual bread.
man must
If man
does not comprehend that bread (manna) feeds both the body and spirit,
then the spirit is starved and consequently the body. Mm then dies
spiritually and physically. The manna which fed the Israelites in the
desert is an example of physical and spiritual food. The host, or
consecrated bread, is also an example of spiritual and physical food.
The key to the physical-spiritual, body-mind relationship, is man's
understanding which is fostered by reason. For Postel restored reason,
which he claimed to have after his immutation in January, 1552, is the
effective unity of form and matter, mind and body, in the human person.
Postel could provide empirical evidence for his theory from the
life of the Venetian Virgin. He often repeats that this mysterious
woman, in whom the spirit of Christ dwelt, fully survived with little
nourishment except frequent communion. He indicates that she seemed to
live on the spiritual bread (the host) which also provided physical
nourishment. Postel indicates that he likewise could endure with little
sleep or food, and he also took communion frequently. Although the
Venetian Virgin suffered physical death, she lived again through Postel
in a remarkable "immutation" in which the feminine spirit of Christ
which she possessed was infused mysteriously into the body of Postel.
His reason was now restored, and he was again one in mind and body as
was Adam before the fall •
In addition to Postel's statement about the eternity of corporeal
life, there is evidence which indicates that Postel believed in
paZingenesis. Mmy assume that he had found the elixir of life.l4
Christian Petzsch reports that Postel in old age had regained his
youthful appearance; some believed that he had mastered the art of
14see Frano;ois Secret, "Pierre Gregoire, juge de la Palingenesie de Postel, BibZiotMque d'Humanisme et Renaissanee 22 (1960) '· PP• 561-;>63. On the subject of palingenesis also see R. P. Theoph1-h Raynavd1- ex Soe. Iesv, de sobria alteriv; sexvs frequentatione per saeros et religiosos homines (Lvgdvni, 1653: Sumptibus Michaelis Dvhan) PP• 7-8.

restoring vigor to worn-out bodies and had practiced this art upon himself when he was already old. Other stories were told about his beard turning fran white to black, since Postel was said to have found the elixir of life. When a Spanish legate asked Postel about the elixir and how he had extended his life, Postel smiled and said:
u15 eonservant •
II amara me
One may view with scepticism the reports of Postel's longevity and his restored youth. However, Postel did speak often of "true magic" as one of the abseondita which man's reason could bring to 1 i ght. True magic is natural knowledge; that is, knowledge of nature and causes.16
Reason and knowledge are essenti a 1 to magic •
In Le Prime Nove del altro mondo, written in 1555, Postel speaks of nourishment of three kinds and emphasizes that the imaginative substance plays a major role in the body's well-being, and
delle quali il corpo e nutrito, sono per essa Imaginatiua primo ri dotte ad Imagini et simi 1 i tudi ni tanto dell i primi principii come di tutte le parti che sono nutrite di essi principii. Cosi primamente ogni cosa che se tira delli intestini per nutrir il corpo, per la Imaginatiua uirtu ricordando si del principia primo, cioe del seme del padre che era BIANCO Et poi i nconti nente I magi nandose principio,1fioe del Mlterno seme che e ROSSO, fa il SANGUE ROSSO ••••
The imaginative virtue regulates the body's nourishment and

Questa e la Diuina arte, ouero Sapientia laquale. 8e ministra di quanto li uenne ordinato, dalle due superiori •1
The physical and spiritual nourishment of the body, Postel views as the true magic, fostered by reason and knowledge. This nourishment is
also the "divine art." Postel's Le Prime nove del aUro mondoreflects the mystical teachings of the Venetian Virgin, Postel's Mlther Johanna. The miracle at Laon in 1566 provides additional proof for the truth of the Virgin's teachings about the body and its nourishment. The Hamburg

fragment indicates a similar theme. Hopefully, the complete text of the Hamburg manuscript will be
found and will further clarify the significance which Postel attached to the Miracle of Laon. For the time being the intriguing though brief text from Hamburg must suffice.

19The text is found in Staats und Universitatsbibliothek, Hamburg, Codex 70 in scrinio (no. 981).
The symbols or words written above are difficult. My own
interpretation is tha t ,;:J Y are symbols which mean "two" or "second." See Adriano Cappelli, Dizionario di abbreviature ~atine et ita~iane, (Milano, 1961: Editore Ulrico Hoepli, p. 423). The other letters, which appear to be 6 11 .\ l , in my opinion, stand for dp~i or dupliei; if I am correct, Postel used Greek characters to abbreviate dup~iei• This example of a Latin word written in Greek characters is not without precedent. See this author's article "Another Link in the Correspondence of Guillaume Postel, Biblioth~que d'Hwnanisme et Renaissance, 41 (1979) pp. 575-581.
In a letter to Cardinal Granvelle, Postel writes the Latin word otareustes in Greek characters. If my hypothesis should be correct, it would c larify the meaning of the heading . The "double life" whic h Postel was enjoying from 1566 to 1579 would then probably refer to his use of the name Jehan Boulaese, under which name two books on the Miracle of Laon were published. No evidence for a separate existence of Boulaese apart from Postel has ever been presented. The name Boulaese appears on works from 1566 to 1579.
In addition, the "double life" would obviously refer to the physical-spiritual sustenance which Postel enjoyed .
