OF GUILLAUME POSTEL

THE UNIVERSE,

In which

or the Doctrine of the Heavens, is presented as a compendium

adapted to the Earth, and according to the order of celestial

influence, and the reasoning of the principal Origins, the

whole Earth, insofar as it is known, along with the times

of Kingdoms, is expounded.

But before all other parts of the world,

H O L Y L A N D is described in the highest,

that is, the most ample compendium. To which France, on account of the primary

name of the world and law, is substituted, because both are about to give

law to the whole world.

The second book explains the Tables of Ptolemy, whom he calls Ptole-

meolus.
