Divination seeks to know the future in a supernatural way. There were many forms of this ancient science. Most of us know of astrology, or perhaps necromancy, i.e., revelation by the souls of the dead. How many of us know about aeromancy, alectryonomancy, anthropomancy, astragalomancy, axinomancy, belomancy, capnomancy, catoptromancy, cephal onomancy, chiroscopy, chresmology, cledonomancy, cleromancy, coskinomancy, crystallomancy, dactyliomancy, empyromancy, geomancy, hydromancy, ichthyomancy, lebanomancy, lecanomancy, libanomancy, lithomancy, morphoscopy, oneiromancy, onychomancy, ooscopy, ornithomancy, pegomancy, phyllomancy, pyromancy, rhapsodomancy, sphondylomancy, symbolomancy, tyromancy? The author reveals a complex subject which has parts, in equal portion, of philosophy, history, and archaeology.

This is the first and only complete translation into English. Auguste Bouché-Leclercq (1842-1923) was chair of ancient history at the Sorbonne from 1878 to 1918. Bouché-Leclercq became a member of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres 1898, and Légion d'honneur 1903.
