Le système d'écriture appelé aschouri n'est comparable à aucun autre, car il est le plus ancien et il est descendu du ciel avec ses formes et ses noms.
From a French translation of a 12th century explanation of the Hebrew text. It'll take me awhile to get through this but it reveals traditional beliefs about magical language. (That's not the way that human language functions by the way. Something may well have dropped from heaven, like the quality of mercy, or the mystery of gravity, or time or consciousness, but keep on studying nonetheless. It's the responsible thing to do.)
