Hello

I have a really old book that appears to be in relation to horoscopes. I have attached images of the front page and second page. I would love to know where it is from and who it is by. In fact any information at all would be greatly appreciated.

Your book seems to be an assorted book on various calendars, divination, fortune telling etc. published before modern times in Japan. These type of books in the Edo period played an encyclopedia role as well as calendars.
The picture is just an illustration depicting the
Shumisen (須彌山）or Mount Meru, the sacred mountain in the Buddhist cosmology.
To know the exact date of publication, we have to see the last page with the impressum.
Could be 150-250 years old.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Thank you so much Nagy. As always, your knowledge is much appreciated.
