The texts consulted span several centuries, and the topic is all the more complex and fascinating because of the lengthy tradition of such works borrowing heavily from one another.With an explanatory preface and a brief suggested reading list for the fan of such things, this work aims to be the most complete modern collection of the divination works of yesterday. The systems employed herein to predict the future and prognosticate the person are just as able to be used today as they were when first written.
