La grande Cabale des Mages, ou le Th?lescope de Zoroastre. 1792. This contains an incomplete translation of the 'Centiloquium' of Ptolemaeus, and is followed by a 'Supl?ment ou manuel astronomique', and another astrological work, etc., dated 1825. By several hands. Title: La grande Cabale [etc.] 1792 (Fol. 1). Ptolemaeus (C.) Sentiloque de Ptolem?e. Suite de la Sentence 15e (ff. 2-28). This section appears to be a selection from the 'Centiloquium' ascribed to Ptolemaeus, first printed in 1535. [Pseudo-Zoroaster] Clef ou la grande Cabale des Mages (ff. 28-113). This work ends on fol. 98v: with the date 1796. It is followed by a 'Dissertation ?pistolaire privil?gi?e, plac? au plus haut rand de l'ordre Social'. This is signed 'le Baron de N....' (fol. 113v). Below this: 'Fin de la Cabale des Mages'. [Anon.] Supl?ment au Manuel Astronomique (ff. 114-140). The date 1825 is given in an 'Exemple' at the end. -Du lever de la Canicule et ses pronostiques [etc.] (ff. 140-147). -Les j'ai vu (ff. 148, 149). Satirical verses apparently written originally in the first quarter of the 18th cent. This MS. is written by the same hands as MS. No. 2994 [Indicateur], of which it perhaps originally formed part.
