Christophe de Cattan (also Christofe Cattan, Christopher Cattan) was a reputed astrologer of the sixteenth century. The title page of one of his books gives him as Swiss, from Geneva.[1]
He is known in connection with geomancy, through the 1558 La geomancie du seigneur Christofe de Cattan.[1] As The geomancie of Maister Christopher Cattan Gentleman this was successful also in a 1591 English translation, by Francis Sparry.[2]
