Christian Astrology, Books 1 and 2

This is the most famous, the most celebrated astrology book in the English language. It has been prized by students ever since its first publication in 1647. The Horary Astrology in these pages, in the hands of a master, is no mere parlour game. It is demanding and precise, combining science and art. Properly used, it will give answer to any well-defined question.

In this volume:

Book 1, An Introduction to Astrology, containing the use of an ephemeris; the erecting of a scheme of heaven; nature of the twelve signs of the Zodiac, of the planets; with a most easy introduction to the whole art of astrology.

Book 2, The Resolution of All Manner of Questions, by a most methodical way, instructs the student how to judge or resolve all manner of questions contingent unto man, viz, of health, sickness, riches, marriage, preferment, journeys, etc. Some 35 questions inserted and judged.

Includes: Original woodcut charts, as well as charts in modern round format; glossary of archaic terms; original marginalia; Lilly's original bibliography & index. Spellings & verb tenses modernized, the entire book (including tables) reset in modern typeface. The contents of this book match the 1985 Regulus facsimile (of the 1647 original) page-for-page, often line-for-line. This is Lilly's great book as he himself knew it, brought into the 21st century.
