Description

Astronomical treatise, presenting a doctrine assigning parts of the body to the tutelage of the planets and a discussion of the phases of each planet in relation to the sun - both based on a description of planetary motion. The text is the result of excerpting, without understanding, sources of very different level, and is not consistent
