ASTROLOGICAL 'IVDICIA', 3,200 in number, in Latin, compiled by an unnamed author for Richard II. On f. 3 b is written 'Liber regis Ricardi secundi, quem fecit fieri motu proprio anno regni sui Anglie et Francie quartodecimo' [1390-1391]. In the preface the book is called 'presentem geomancie libellum', but the word 'geomancie' is erased. After the preface are tables of the 'negocia' which fall under each house and of the qualities of the planets, a table, illustrated by drawings, of the eight 'figure' which represent the person, place, time, &c., and lastly the 'iudicia' themselves, being eight answers, one for each figura, to each of twentyfive questions under each of eight capitula according to the subject of inquiry. Beg. 'Prime omnium honorum cause soli deo'.
In the margin are directions to a 15th cent. copyist for making an abridged transcript.
