Interpretation of the Prophet Jeremiah

...who, while playing the psaltery, drove away the evil spirit that tormented Saul original: "qui psallens spiritum malum agitantem Saulum fugavit." A reference to 1 Samuel 16:23, where David’s music heals King Saul..

He also puts forward the mystery of the wheels original: "mysterium rotarum." This refers to the vision of the four wheels in Ezekiel 1, which Joachim interprets as the harmony between the Old and New Testaments and the layers of spiritual meaning in the Bible., through which he distinguishes the multiple senses and understandings of Holy Scripture in a marvelous and ingenious way; although he clarifies this even more specifically, subtly, and clearly in his treatise on the Psaltery of Ten Strings Psaltery of Ten Strings: Referring to Joachim’s work De Psalterio Decem Chordarum, where he uses the shape of the triangular musical instrument to explain the Trinity and the structures of history., where he sets out the twelve senses of the sacred page.

We have stated these things to be certain general principles for the understanding of the many mysteries and sayings of this author. This is done for the reason that in almost all his works, he uses figures and terms of this kind, without the knowledge of which many of his statements cannot be understood.
