which 1s characterlstic of those who believed in Astrology in the XVth cent.; and describes the
supposed influence of the stars on every human being, whose character and fortune was determined
by the star under which he was born. It is one of the most profusly illustrated works
on this subject. Altogether there are about 4 0 0 cutsof men, women and animal s,
