Book III.

CHAPTER 3
8/14

By giromancy, if thou shouldst turn round circles, thou mightest assure thyself from me that they would fall always on the wrong side.

By sternomancy, which maketh nothing for thy advantage, for thou hast an ill-proportioned stomach.

By libanomancy, for the which we shall need but a little frankincense.

By gastromancy, which kind of ventral fatiloquency was for a long time together used in Ferrara by Lady Giacoma Rodogina, the Engastrimythian prophetess.

By cephalomancy, often practised amongst the High Germans in their boiling of an ass's head upon burning coals.
