From the original edition published by Guy Marchant in Paris in the year 1493, and translated into English circa 1518, newly edited. This volume was meant to show the celestial bodies, their nature and movements. It was named for the compost because it comprehends fully all the compost and more for the days, hours and moments, the new moons, eclipses of sun and moon, and the signs that the moon is in every day. As a household encyclopedia, the compost is eminently useful.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
