This slim tract dealing with the Messiah and the Final Redemption was first issued in Constantinople in 1515. The book is divided into three parts: Part One attempts to demonstrate that the various Biblical precepts are designed to correspond to the astrological system. Part Two shows how the events of the seven millenia are outlined in the seven days of Genesis and finally, Part Three is devoted to connections between later historic events and the lives of the three Patriarchs, based on the maxim "Ma'aseh Avoth Siman LeBanim."
