This is what I found, and I wanted to confirm or deny it:
"Transitus Fluvii is a Hebrew-derived alphabet created by mystics,
alchemists, and secret societies during the Middle Ages. It was used to
conjure spells, create amulets and as a code to avoid religious
persecution."
I was just wondering if any Hebraists recognized this derivation. Thanks.
