The Book of Knowledge encompasses the secrets of divination by the
motion of heavenly bodies; the essential wisdom of palmistry and
physiognomy; the maintenance of health by proper balance of the
four bodily humors; the true causes of such phenomena as
earthquakes and lightning; folk remedies for man and beast; and the
rudiments of agriculture and animal husbandry. Herein one can learn
which months are most suitable for blood letting, how white wine
can clear the winds in the head that cause deafness, and other
practical wisdom. Attributed to the mythical Jewish astrologer Erra
Pater, The Book of Knowledge has been printed in various forms for
over four hundred years. Conceiving of the universe through the
lens of superstition and sympathetic magic, it transports the
modern reader to a pre-scientific era when the deep workings of the
nature were as yet unseen and mysterious.
