Commentarius de praecipuis generibus diuinationum, in quo a prophetiis autoritate diuina traditis et à physicis coniecturis, discernuntur artes et imposturae diabolicae, atque observationes natae ex superstitione et cum hac conjunctae. Et monstrantur fontes et causae physicarum praedictionum. Diabolicae vero ac superstitiosae confutatae damnantur
