Abstract
Based on unpublished texts of 'Estimaverunt Indi', 'Geomantia' attributed to Willelm of Moerbeke and 'Breviloquium artis geomantie' by Bartolomew of Parma, my contribution aims at presenting a overview of the geomantic technique and its political applications. In order to achieve this aim, I will offer preliminary considerations on the concept of natural divination taking into account the innovative results of a research conduced within the FIRB project “Prevedere gli eventi e dominare la natura: Modelli di Razionalità Operativa e Circolazione della Conoscenza nel Medioevo arabo, ebraico e latino”File in questo prodotto:
