V.

DE SIGNIFICATIONE VITÆ ET MORTIS, SECUNDUM MOTUM LUNÆ, ET ADSPECTUS PLANETARUM.

Haller, iv. p. 214.

Altogether astrological, says Haller, and very remote from the wisdom of Hippocrates. It does not exist in the Greek, and is the production of some later writer. It runs over (in fourteen paragraphs, and sixteen pages) the whole signs of the zodiac, and of the moon’s locality in relation to them. Its perusal will afford some insight into the absurdities of astrology; a science still pointed to, in the figure as a frontispiece to many of our annual almanacs!
