sacred writing, sacred enclosures, initiatory purposes, to
introduce complexities, playing with the ambiguities, to
experiment with increasingly complicated and abstruse
combinations, a sort of cabalistic game, to amplify the
original semantic range of terms.
By the early Christian ages Egypt had already abandoned
many of its ancient traditions, but knowledge of sacred
writing was still preserved by priests living within the
sacred enclosures of the ancient temples. Because the sacred
writing no longer served any practical purpose but was used
only for initiatory purposes these last priests began to
introduce complexities into it, playing with the ambiguities
inherent in a form of writing that could be read either
phonetically or ideographically. The discovery that by
combining different hieroglyphs evocative visual emblems
might be created inspired these last scribes to experiment
with increasingly complicated and abstruse combinations,
and they began to formulate a sort of cabalistic game, based,
however, on images rather than letters. Thus was formed a
halo of visual connotations and secondary meanings around
the terms represented by phonetic signs, a basso ostinato of
associated meanings that served to amplify the original
semantic range of terms.
