OF GUILLAUME POSTEL

ON THE UNIVERSE,

Two Books:

In which

A S T R O N O M Y,

Or a Compendium of Celestial Doctrine

adapted to the Earth, & according to the

order of celestial influx, and the account

of the chief Origins, the whole

circle of the Earth as it

is known, along with the

times of Kingdoms,

is explained.

But before all other parts of the world, the HOLY LAND is described in a supreme, that is, most ample compendium. To it, Gaul is substituted because of the primary name of the world and its right, in that both are destined to give law to the whole world.

The second book explains the Tables of Ptolemaeus Ptolemy, which he calls the Ptolemeolum Little Ptolemy.

An oval institutional library stamp in blue ink at the bottom center contains faded and largely illegible text.
