Sigil

The character of the planet as such, drawn from the divine names over the numbers of Jupiter's four-by-four square and printed in Agrippa's plate between the characters of the intelligence and of the spirit, under the caption for Jupiter. It is a traced character rather than a figure, and it is the sign that stands for the sphere as a whole when neither the intelligence nor the spirit is named.

Office

The seal is the practical shorthand of the sphere: engraved on tin with Jupiter fortunate it is held to conduce to gain and riches, favour and love, peace and concord, the appeasing of enemies and the confirming of honours, and to dissolve enchantments when cut in coral. Agrippa's chapter makes the seal the end of the arithmetic — numbers, then divine names, then the character drawn from them — and treats the seal, not the image, as the operative sign of the table.
