What Mathers’s caption claims
Mathers assigns this figure to honor, status, riches, tranquillity, and the discovery of guarded treasure.
Within the Jupiter collection, this places figure 19 among themes of treasure, status, protection, visions, and relief from poverty.
Inscription, names, and script
Psalm 112:3: Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endureth for ever.
AHIH fills the hexagram center; AB and IHVH occupy its points.
How the diagram is organized
The visible core is a compact divine-name center. Around it, a hexagram distributes names among six points. At the edge, the wealth verse fills the outer ring.
Mathers plate and witness differences
Mathers says letters outside the hexagram are probably the opening words of the verse. “Probably” matters: the plate preserves his best reading, while his note marks the identification as interpretive.
Plate IV is an artifact of Mathers’s 1889 arrangement. His preface and final note say that he compared differing manuscripts and restored difficult Hebrew and magical characters. Sloane 2731 and Lansdowne 1203 remain distinct manuscript objects; this printed crop should not stand in for either one.
WORKED EXAMPLE
A diagram reading of figure 19
Read the hexagram by vertical opposition: AB appears above and below while IHVH fills the other corners, surrounding AHIH at center. The wealth verse repeats the caption’s theme at the edge, making prosperity a textual enclosure around a balanced name structure.
