ASTROLOGICAL GEOMANCY DIVINATION & ALCHEMY CDBOOK

The Astrological Geomancy.

Astrological Geomancy. It was explained as divination (in the same sentence with pyromancy and hydromancy) in the best-selling Travels of Sir John Mandeville , as "geomantie that superstitious arte" in a book of alchemy (1477), and defined in Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa's Philosophy of Natural Magic: Complete Work on Natural Magic, White & Black Magic as a form of divination.

Gerard was born in Cremona. Dissatisfied with the meagre philosophies of his Italian teachers, Gherardo followed his true passions and went to Toledo. There he learned Arabic, initially so that he could read Ptolemy's Almagest, which retained its traditional high reputation among scholars, even though no Latin translation existed.

Although we do not have detailed information of the date when Gerard went to Castile, it was no later than 1144. Toledo, which had been a provincial capital in the Caliphate of Cordoba and remained a seat of learning, was safely available to a Catholic like Gerard, since it had been conquered from the Moors by Alfonso VI of Castile.
