This practical manual offers a method of determining the birth sign based on calculations performed on the subject's name and his or her mother's name. The critical edition includes a literary, historical, and linguistic study; an English translation; and a Catalan-English glossary. The Tractat reveals Catalan sources for prognostication, a unique expression of medieval syncretism, the mingling of traditions, and the development of new ideas. It is a rare find for Hispanists and others interested in astrology, magic, the history of science, and early print culture. 410 0$aThe Medieval and Early Modern Iberian World ;$v18. 517 3 $aThe Tractat de prenostication de la vida natural dels ḥmens 606 $aAstrology$yEarly works to 1800 606 $aCivilization, Medieval 606 $aNumerology$yEarly works to 1800 606 $aNumerology$zSpain$zCatalonia 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAstrology 615 0$aCivilization, Medieval. 615 0$aNumerology 615 0$aNumerology 676 $a133.5 700 $aLucas$b John Scott$01032627 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450498103321 996 $aAstrology and Numerology in Medieval and Early Modern Catalonia$92450596 997 $aUNINA
