These notes accompany the tables realized by Fabrizio cotognini as part of the extensive artistic program Thaumaturgus Opticus. They illustrate the Parables of Philosophy section of the book The Lie written in 1656 by the Marquis Massimiliano Palombara (1614-1685), syncretic crossroads of neo-Pythagoreanism, hermeticism and alchemy. Palombara was part of the esoteric coterie founded in Rome by Queen Christina of Sweden, also attended by the Jesuit Athanasius Kircher.
