I don't know about that. I found that the originals are very hard to 
make sense of (at least the Englis versions online). Bill's reading 
and summary certainly make the HP relevance more clear. See what you 
think:

There are more sources in one of Bill's earlier posts

It reminds me of the diabolicals in Eco's "Foucault's Pendulum". 
There's a lovely section where the Casaubon's wife debunks a 
prediction of the return to power of the Knights Templar by reducing 
it to a medieval shopping list. 

I'd say that on reading the Chymical Wedding (a bit), there is no 
obvious link to HP (though predicting the mark on Harry's hand is 
way cool). Read it and see what you think.

Cheers,

Dumbledad,
