Description

Fragment of a work on divination by numbers for Lotteries: in French. Title-page, first leaf of text, pp. 13-16, 33-36, and all after p. 46, wanting. Pp. 21-37 contain: 'Tables cabalistiques et perpétuelles du fameux Rutilio Benincasa' 1553. In the examples on p. 17 et seq., the calculations seem to be based on the position of the City of Turin. On p. 43 when referring to an Italian Lottery for 1788, the Author speaks of the 'Liste du Lotto' as 'n'étant pas encore imprimée'. Produced in Turin?
