BIBLIOMANCY, a kind of divination performed by means of the Bible. This amounts to much the same with what is otherwise called sortes biblica or sortes sanctorum. It consisted in taking passages of Scripture at hazard, and drawing indications thence concerning things future; as in Augustine's sortes et lege. It was much used at the consecration of bishops.—F. J. Davidius, a Jesuit, has published a bibliomancy under the borrowed name of Veridicus Christianus.
