Beschreibung:

A collection of works on divination and casting of lots, some of these treatises in this volume are found in other manuscripts such as London, British Library Or. 10659. One of the works on geomancy in seven (actually eight) "paths" (fols. 15r-17v) is attributed in other manuscripts to Abraham ibn Ezra. This manuscript, as in the British Library codex, begins with the fifth path. Another work on divination on fols. 17v-36v is also found in the British Library manuscript.
