A facsimile has been published with the title Vom Einfluß der
Gestirne auf die Gesundheit und den Charakter des Menschen,
emphasizing the most important, astrological aspect of the work.
Human beings and the cosmos are closely connected, and the seven
planets – Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the sun, Venus, Mercury and the
moon – have an immediate effect on people. The manuscript, richly
decorated with pictures, was commissioned by Erasmus and Dorothea
Schurstab from Nuremberg (1v donation picture with coat of arms and
depiction of the Crucifixion on a gold background). In 1774 Johann
Jakob Zoller from Baden donated the manuscript to the City Library
of Zürich, which was founded in 1629.
