The plates depict kabbalistic motifs, including the Ten Sefirot (the ten attributes God created through which he projects himself to the universe and to man), an image of the Ohr Ein Sof (“limitless light,” i.e. God) and an additional plate dealing with the Sefirot, this one combining Lurianic with Zoroastrian thought.
The author, Johann Franz Buddeus (1667-1729), was a German Lutheran scholar.
