Astrologia naturalis. 5. Complexionum noticia, iuxta dominium planetarum. Strasbourg: J. Schott, 1534. 2° (320 x 203mm). Large woodcut portrait of the author on title and full-page arms on recto of final leaf by Hans Baldung Grien, 82 woodcuts in text. (Title slightly soiled, with small nicks at upper and tiny holes at bottom margin, some generally light spotting.) 19th-century vellum with red morocco label (label chipped, endpapers renewed, a possible remboitage). Third Latin edition. Indagine’s Introductiones in chiromantiam was first printed in 1522 and first published in English in 1633 as Briefe introductions ... unto the art of chiromancie, or manuell diuination, and phisiognomy . This combination of fortune telling methods, through not only chiromancy but also physiognomy and astrology, remained so popular that 27 editions are known up to 1974. The woodcuts correspond to the methods of divination, the majority illustrating lines of the palm and horoscopes, a lesser number relating to physiognomy and the zodiacal signs. VD16 R 3110.
