Cheiro's Book of Numbers

Cheiro's book is a tradition's own primary statement of its numerological system, not independent scholarship, and this record holds it at the tier that reflects that: it is the standard printed source for the so-called Chaldean letter values and the two-digit compound numbers that later numerology manuals still use, cited here as evidence of what the system itself assigns rather than as proof the system describes anything real. Cheiro's own claim that these values descend from ancient Chaldea is his own assertion, stated plainly here as an unverified claim rather than a documented historical lineage, since no Babylonian or Chaldean text assigning these values is known. The 1926 publication year is given as commonly cited in the literature, not independently confirmed in this pass. Use it for what this specific numerological system teaches; it is not evidence of an ancient Chaldean origin.

Reliability Tier3
Cheiro's own 1926 popular numerology manual, the standard printed source for the so-called Chaldean letter values; his own claimed Chaldean origin for the system is his own assertion with no known ancient Babylonian text behind it, so this record is cited as the tradition's own claim rather than documented history. NotesThe standard printed statement of the so-called Chaldean letter values and of the two-digit compound numbers. Relied on here for what that system assigns, cited as the tradition's own claim. Cheiro's attribution of the values to ancient Chaldea is his own assertion; no Babylonian or Chaldean text is known that assigns these values, and the attribution is recorded here as a claim rather than a documented lineage. Publication year as commonly given in the literature; not independently verified in this pass.
