Illustrated with diagrams, grids, and planetary circles, it synthesizes the hermetic practices of the period, at the crossroads of Arabic, medieval, and Renaissance influences. The neat and dense handwriting testifies to a scholar or practitioner who mastered the codes of classical geomancy. A rare witness to 18th-century occult thought.
