From the Vatican Library, a depiction of the sons of Seth devising the “celestial alphabet,” whose letters are displayed in the frame above. (The lower frame reads: The sons of Seth inscribe the knowledge of celestial things on two columns.) This alphabet, probably of Medieval cabbalistic origin, but apparently related to ancient Samaritan, was purported to be the predecessor of classical Hebrew letters.

~THE CELESTIAL ALPHABET~ (a.k.a. The Angelic Script) The Celestial Alphabet was created by Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa in the 1500's. It was derived from the Greek and Hebrew alphabets and was created for communication with angels. Though it is still used for this purpose, many modern enthusiasts of esotericism and the occult use it for other purposes such as: enscribing secret text, crafting sigils, and writing spells. It is not to be confused with other esoteric alphabets such as Malachim, Enochian, Theban script, and Transitus Fluvii.
