'Corbellone astuto ... opera arguta et dilettevole ... In Nichildon 1769'
'Corbellone astuto ... opera arguta et dilettevole ... In Nichildon 1769', a fortune-telling book, with elaborate diagrams, to be made use of with the aid of dice: there are thirty questions and numerous answers. A picture of 'Corbelone', dated 1805, is at p. iv, cf. 163: and some at least of the stencilling appears to be of that date.
