Contemporary grey cloth ornamented in blind; edges and corners scuffed. A rare lithographed esoteric handbook on coding, secret writing, and fortune-telling based on a geomantic system of making strokes in four rows to be re-arranged in dots to form various patterns or dotted codes which can be interpreted to predict the future and probabilities.

Binding and fly leaves with traces of waterstaining, but contents clean and well preserved.…
