The Dodechedron of Fortune, named after the twelve-sided die used to cast oracles and the medieval goddess of Fortune, was a divinatory game, now called “The Magic Mirror of Jehan de Meung.”
This game consisted of choosing questions about the future and finding their answers using a special die, whose twelve faces correspond to the twelve houses of the sky and offer a number that refers to a horoscope or advice.

The two fold-out tables, each 12 by 12 squares, show the signs of the zodiac on the abscissa and the planets on the ordinate, each corresponding to a number on the die. Each square refers to an oracle in the book.
