Famous work of Johannes de Indagine (1415-1475), a German Carthusian skilled in astronomy and astrology.
This Strasbourg edition is decorated with numerous figures on wood relating to palmistry, astrology, physiognomy, etc. It contains the treatises of William Gratarole and Luc Gauric, to whom we owe most of the horoscopes of the great figures of the 16th century, especially those of Catherine de Médicis and King Henri II (Dorbon).
Handwritten bookplates erased at the head and foot of the title, revealing a halo.
From the Lucien Sandrier Library of La Tour de Mitry, Consul General of France, with his ex-libris.
