Divination seeks to know the future in a supernatural way. There were many forms of this ancient science. Most of us know of astrology, or perhaps necromancy, i.e., revelation by the souls of the dead. The author reveals a complex subject which has parts, in equal portion, of philosophy, history, and archaeology. This volume begins the elucidation of the men and women who formed the active and human corps of divination, the priesthoods, oracles, and Sibyls of ancient Greece. Volume I was theory, Volume II is the history of practice, and Volume III continues a survey of practice. Volume IV relates the theory and practice of divination in ancient Etruria, Italy, and Rome. We see Augural and Fulgural Arts, Extispicy and Haruspicy, Summoning Prodigies, Vaticination, Omina, Spells, Auspices, Augural Rituals, College of Augurs, History of the College and the Sibylline Books.
