Specialist Notes
The work is a collection of 80 passages from the Bible, the Fathers of the Church and the major philosophers "oriented and interpreted in an astrological and magical way. In the dedicatory letter the Author affirms the astrological "necessitas" "facultatis" in Medicine and indeed announces the future publication of a work with that title (or similar), but which has never seen the light.
