Astrologica Divinazione sopra i presagi della vita umana

Text within double red rules, title within decorated borders in colours, initials in colours; with a folding leaf containing a horoscopic figure in colours, and ornaments in red. The title seems to have been rubbed out and rewritten, and a date erased from the horoscope, and at the beginning of the text. The latter may possibly be 1675. The work was written at the birth of a lady of noble family, and a second title preceding the preface reads 'Divinatione astrologica fatta per uso di medicina'.

c. 1675
