Video Orientation to the University of Pennsylvania Library's LJS 467, a work on the use of astronomical observations to predict weather changes in order to determine the best times to sow and harvest in northern Africa. The text is divided into 12 chapters describing weather variations for each of the 12 months, using their European names.
