I found this book from the 1700s on the #internetarchive The first part is a bunch of stuff on astrology, fortune-telling and magic remedies. What really interested me, though, was the templates for legal instruments tacked onto the end. Maybe the law is a form of magic. https://ia600500.us.archive.org/27/items/bim_eighteenth-century_the-book-of-knowledge-t_erra-pater_1758/bim_eighteenth-century_the-book-of-knowledge-t_erra-pater_1758.pdf (Side note: I thought this guy was swallowing a sword at first glance. It's a telescope) #legalhistory #astrology
