Titolo / Title: Qualche considerazione sulla Geomantia attribuita a Guglielmo di Moerbeke

Abstract: This article presents a few research findings related to the Geomantia attributed to William of Moerbeke. It consists of three sections: The first provides evidence for the classification of the Geomantia within the genre of the medieval compilations. The second includes a comparison of the Geomantia with the Ars geomantie nova of Batholomew of Parma and a few considerations on the datation of the treatise attributed to Moerbeke, based on this assessment. The third brings to the attention of scholars an unpublished marginal note concerning the date of composition of the Geomantia.

Keywords: Medieval Geomancy; Guillelmus de Moerbeke; Bartholomaeus Parmensis; Witelo; Perspectiva.
