This is a Wikipedia reference article rather than independent scholarship, cited narrowly for checkable specifics documented in its own sources: the pre-Agrippa print appearances of this alphabet in the works of de Balmes in 1523, Tory in 1529 and Panteo in 1530, the river crossing explanation given for its name, and Panteo's own ascription of the alphabet to Abraham. This record holds it at the tier appropriate to a collaboratively edited general encyclopedia rather than to specialist scholarship. Use it for these specific points about Transitus Fluvii's early print history and traditional ascription; a claim needing closer manuscript comparison across these three early printings needs a dedicated scholarly source on Renaissance Hebrew and occult alphabets, which this general reference article does not provide.
