Commentarius de praecipuis generibus divinationum, in quo a prophetiis autoritate divina traditis & a physicis coniecturis, discernuntur artes et imposturae diabolicae, atque observationes natae ex superstitione et cum hac coniunctae ...
A 1560 Latin treatise on divination by Kaspar Peucer, printed by Johannes Crato, and held in the library of C.G. Jung; it is a scholarly work on prophecy, astrology and superstition aimed at educated readers. The first picture is a Jung bookplate with winged angel, heraldic shield and arabesque scrollwork in black, gold and grey, a model for emblematic personal marks. The second is a dense printed astrological table of numbers and planetary symbols, useful for grid layouts and tabular typography. The third is a woodcut historiated initial V with two nude figures around the letter, a model for decorative capitals.
