Sefer goralot

Abraham Ibn Ezra

18th Century

These illustrated pages are from a manuscript copy of Sefer goralot (Book of Lots), a treatise on geomancy, which was a method of divination popular in the medieval world. The text was attributed, incorrectly, to the twelfth-century biblical commentator and astrologer, Abraham Ibn Ezra. The manuscript includes many images related to the zodiac.
