Astrologia Restaurata: Astrology Restored - Paperback

by William Ramesey (Author)

1653. Contains all four books in this one edition. William changed the spelling of his name from Ramsay to Ramesey, under the pleasant delusion that he was a descendent of the Ramessids of Egypt. Ramesey took a degree in medicine at Montpellier and was physician to Charles II. He wrote on such disparate subjects as poisons, the origin of the soul, eclipses, worms, and the qualities of a true gentleman, and he was a devoted believer in the validity of astrology. This text provides the most complete set of rules for electional astrology available in English.
