Included in many of the cartomancy incantations is a small pseudo-hagiographical narrative which mentions a supposed seven-year seafaring journey made by Saint Cyprian himself. The origin and meaning of these thematically coherent incantations, as related to these cartomancy systems (or any other 'Cyprianic' divination method), has until now remained unresolved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eClearing the Waters: A Monograph on Saint Cyprian Divination from the 17th to the 19th Century\u003c\/em\u003e, author José Leitão utilises Portuguese Inquisition records and Prosecutor's Notebooks to unravel the mystery of the seafaring incantation, and how it has come to be associated with contemporary Cyprian divination. Also included is a discussion of other divinatory techniques found in the \u003cem\u003eBook of Saint Cyprian\u003c\/em\u003e, such as coscinomancy, favomancy, and hydromancy, of which many examples can be found in the extensive appendices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 x 8.27 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 28, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42651009613920,"sku":"9781914166198","price":41.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/aFBHbnRJOWZjN1ZRS0lwWU1RNmpNdz09.webp?v=1773805851","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/clearing-the-waters-a-monograph-on-saint-cyprian-divination-from-the-17th-to-the-19th-century-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
