Astrology and numerology in medieval and early modern Catalonia | Free Book
The Tractat de prenostication de la vida natural dels hòmens
"The Tractat de prenostication de la vida natural dels homens", a late
15th-century Catalan incunable, draws on a rich tradition of
astrological magic, geomancy, Pythagorean numerology and Hebrew
gematria. This practical manual offers a method of determining the
birth sign based on calculations performed on the subject's name and
his or her mother's name. The critical edition includes: a literary,
historical and linguistic study; and English translation; and a
Catalan-English glossary.
The "Tractat" reveals Catalan sources for prognostication, a unique expression of medieval syncretism, the mingling of traditions and the development of new ideas.
