The sibylline oracles, or the continuation of prophetic memories Paris, at the author's home 1817. 527 pp., (1p) 1/4 leather over marbled boards. Raised bands with gilt decorations. Very Good. - Lacks frontis. 3 plates inset. Appears to be missing a page as the last page ends mid sen…tence. ORIGINAL EDITION. Contains a long and learned theory of the horoscope, the table of genies following Palingene, curious notes on the doctrine of Pythagoras, charms and ligatures, palmistry, a surprising biography of Cagliostro whom Miss Lenormand would have known in 1800 in Paris and who would therefore not have died in Rome in the dungeons of the Inquisition, as the chronicle wants. Despite his so-called relationships with Josephine and Napoleon, the latter nonetheless had Miss Lenormand arrested, accused of having interfered in politics. Rare. Signed by Author(s).
