Tablette catégorique des significations du Livre de Thot. Servant à l'Interprétation et lecture littérale [sic] des significations hiéroglifiques de ce précieux livre, pour la partie des oracles. Avec des Annotations par M. Etteila [sic]...La partie principale est puissé [sic] de Synonimes françois etc. This MS. seems to be made up from the 'Dictionnaire synonimique du Livre de Thot' published in 1791, and the 'Code pratique de la cartomancie égyptienne' [n.d.]: the heading ot pp. 148-153 is 'Cartomancie égyptienne'. The author is described by Caillet in his 'Manuel bibliographique' 1912, Vol. I, pp. 20, 21 as 'Perruquier, cartomancien, et philosophe de l'époque révolutionnaire', and Nos. 201-217 in his catalogue are devoted to his works. Caillet also mentions a biography by Millet de Saint Pierre published at Le Havre in 1859 under the title of 'Recherches sur le dernier sorcier'.
