Excerpt from Henry Cornelius Agrippa, His Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy: Of Geomancy; Magical Elements of Peter De Abano; Astronomical Geomancy; The Nature of Spirits; Arbatel of Magick
Probably it is this treatise which is mentioned by Agrippa in 1526 when he sent to Metz for his work on geomancy Again Agrippa refers to a work on geomancy in his De Incertitudine (cap 13) where after listing earlier geomancies by Haly, Gerard of Cremona, Bartholomew of Parma, and T andinus, he says of his own geomantic treatise I too havewritten a geomancy quite different from the rest but no less superstitious and fallacious or if you Wish I Will even say 'mendacious Agrippa was nothing if not frank about his own work.
