Gothic letter a drawn line. Cover bordered, with old handwritten signature. Engraving on the back of the port. Palau 54937: "This is the most famous book by Pedro Ciruelo. Beliefs and superstitions regarding Witchcraft, Necromancy, Palmistry, divinatory arts, Sorcery, false Astrology, omens, and everything that reaches the ignorant vulgar avid for riches and supernatural power. It is a true portrait of the customs of those times that still persist today. Some ill-advised booksellers sell this work as a form of exorcistic and magical practices. We must warn them that in Ciruelo''s work such practices are only combated under theological and moral point of view"
