'Ein naturliche Kunst der Gema[n]cia, oder die alt astrologes, welche die alten vnd furnemlich die Egipter im Brauch gehabt haben', with diagrams, followed at fol. 41 by tables: text beg. 'Gemancia ist ain Kunst welche man braucht habt im alten Testament'. The treatise appears to be a mixture of astrology and geomancy.
