Bifrons
Bifrons, monstri similitudine conspicitur. Ubi humanam assumit imaginem,
reddit hominem in Astrologia mirabilem, planetarum mansiones absolute
docens, idem præstat in Geometria, & mensuris aliis. Vires herbarum,
lapidum pretiosorum & lignorum intelligit. Corpora mortuorum de loco
ad locum transmutat: Candelas super defunctorum sepulchra inflammare
videtur. Huic subjacent vinginti sex legiones.
Bifrons is seene in the similitude of a monster, when he taketh the
image of a man, he maketh one woonderfull cunning in astrologie,
absolutelie declaring the mansions of the planets, he dooth the like in
geometrie, and other admesurements, he perfectlie understandeth the
strength and vertue of hearbs, pretious stones, and woods, he changeth
dead bodies from place to place, he seemeth to light candles upon the
sepulchres of the dead, and hath under him six and twentie legions.
