1698 Oracle of Sibyls Comiers Fortune Kabbalah Prophecy Occult Pagan Mysticism

 

An incredible 17^th-century printing of Claude Comiers’ ‘Oracles of Sibyls’ – a fascinating work of fortune-telling. This book covers the lives of great men, superstitions, demy-gods, prophecy, and detailed explanations of miracles and the supernatural.

 

Comiers, a 16^th-century Parisian mathematician, was remembered more for his treatises and scientific works on astronomy as well as this famous book on divination. He adored the Kabbalah and aspects of antiquarianism and discussed both in his “Oracles.” According to Thorndike, oracle and prophetic literature was studied as an antiquarian pastime, and even though Comiers new this, he wrote this book with the intents of it being used for ocular predictions.
