No English translation of Nifo's 'De Auguriis' was found in any catalog. While the original Greek text of Horapollo has been translated into English (e.g., by Cory in 1840 and Boas in 1950), there is no evidence of an English translation of Vicentino's specific Latin rendering. As per the instructions, translations from the original Greek do not count as translations of this Latin source text.
