Content SummarySırr-ı Ta-Ha describes the process of creating the greater elixir in the briefest terms. The commentary provides several meanings for ta and ha beginning with the commonly accepted view that ta-ha refers to the Muhammedan spirit. This is followed by an analysis of the first verse according to the lettrist principles. Then the commentator goes to analyze ta and ha with respect to their astrological significance. The text includes other analysis in lettrist, astrological and alchemical terms.
