Summary

In "Strategemata," Sextus Julius Frontinus masterfully compiles a rich tapestry of military stratagems and tactics drawn from the annals of history. Written in the first century AD, this treatise juxtaposes anecdotal narratives with analytical insights, revealing the cunning maneuvers employed by ancient generals to outwit their foes. Frontinus's literary style, marked by clarity and eloquence, situates the text within the broader context of Roman military literature, expertly illustrating the interplay between strategy, deception, and the psychological dimensions of warfare. His work serves not only as a manual for military leaders but also as a reflection on the nature of power and human behavior in the face of conflict. Frontinus, a distinguished Roman military engineer and politician, was well-acquainted with both the theoretical and practical aspects of warfare, having served in various military capacities and holding the esteemed position of water commissioner in Rome. His lived experiences undoubtedly informed his writings, providing a grounded understanding of strategy that transcends mere theoretical discourse. This duality of background imbues "Strategemata" with authenticity and depth, establishing Frontinus as a pivotal figure in the study of military stratagems. For scholars, tacticians, and aficionados of military history, "Strategemata" is an indispensable text that distills the complexities of warfare into timeless principles. It offers readers keen insights into the art of strategy, ensuring that its relevance resonates even in contemporary discussions on military tactics and leadership. Dive into this compelling work to uncover the classical underpinnings of strategy that inform modern principles of conflict resolution and military thought.

    The Qabbalists conceive of the Supreme Deity as an Incomprehensible Principle to be discovered only through the process of eliminating, in order, all its cognizable attributes. That which remains--when every knowable thing has been removed--is AIN SOPH, the eternal state of Being. Although indefinable, the Absolute permeates all space. Abstract to the degree of inconceivability, AIN SOPH is the unconditioned state of all things. Substances, essences, and intelligences are manifested out of the inscrutability of AIN SOPH, but the Absolute itself is without substance, essence, or intelligence. AIN SOPH may be likened to a great field of rich earth out of which rises a myriad of plants, each different in color, formation, and fragrance, yet each with its roots in the same dark loam--which, however, is unlike any of the forms nurtured by it. The "plants" are universes, gods, and man, all nourished by AIN SOPH and all with their source in one definitionless essence; all with their spirits, souls, and bodies fashioned from this essence, and doomed, like the plant, to return to the black ground--AIN SOPH, the only Immortal--whence they came.
