Treasure indeed - thanks Marco, Michael and Steve. All I need now is Time (and a discerning eye for FG)...This collection is a gold mine of sorts... if only the miners can distinguish the golden parallels from the pyrite and other tailings.

There have been books purporting to interpret dream symbols and listing signs of fortune or misfortune since books began. In fact, some theorize that writing may have emerged from a dual need - recording inventory and recording dreams & oracles (and what they mean). Cheap chapbooks (as well as a few elegant compendiums) on these subjects were printed by the thousands. Most of the cheap books have not survived.Pen wrote:

Now I'm curious - the books mentioned at The Hermitage, More than a Game don't seem quite right, and a search (in both English and Italian) has revealed nothing that does, although I could easily have missed something in Italian - any ideas?
Let the eclipse and the comet appear in Cancer
if you want to see Venice in a great danger,
the son of one of the greatest Kings die
and then his father, if heaven does not forbid that.
