Nicol Catani, geomantischer Schöpffen-Stul, worinnen der kunstmässig constituirte Richter samt denen beeden Zeugen als Beysitzern auff vorgelegte Fragen richtigen Bescheid ertheilet, zumehrer Erleuchterung derer in der vollenkommenen Geomantia angewiesenen Operationen ...
Nicol Catani's geomantic divination manual, printed in Freystadt in 1704 for readers interested in the Geomantia practice of fortune-telling by questions.
