To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The sibylline oracles were held in so great veneration among theancients, that nothing of importance was undertaken without consultingthem.
That divination was used and believed in by the Hebrews, is proved bythe Scripture injunctions against divinations. The Jews were told notto have among them any that used divination, or any observers oftimes, or enchanters, or witches, or charmers, or consulters withfamiliar spirits, or wizards, or necromancers, or star-gazers, ormiracle-mongers, or seekers... of oracles.
One species of divination was performed by laying an agate stone on ared-hot hatchet. This is known as Axinomancy. The agate was calledsacred, as it was regarded as a preservative against the poison ofreptiles. Pliny has written a whole chapter on the virtues of agates.
There was an art among the Greeks known as Alectoromantia, by whichfuture events were made known by means of a cock's movements. A circlewas made on the ground, and divided into twenty-four equal parts, ineach of which spaces was written one of the letters of the alphabet, and upon each of these letters was laid a grain of wheat.
