Description of manuscript content:
The manuscript contains the texts in various aspects of astrology. The text on the first side tells the predictions of dreams; the information for a birth, eg. A person who was born in a chai year has cow bones, the first lunar month has cow skin, a chai day has cow blood… The text on the reverse side tells looking for a day to go out, eg. If you leave the house on the first day of the week (Monday), you pat your head with water by your hand, then go out. You will conquer a tiger…
