The Astrological Judgment and Practice of Physick (Hardcover)

1677. Richard Saunders was an astrologer/physician in 17th century England. It is one of the earliest astro-medical treatises in the English language. This is a comprehensive and demanding text on medical astrology. Included are rules for decumbiture charts, illnesses produced by the traditional planets in the various signs of the zodiac, when to administer medicines based on planetary hours, and much more. This is also a first hand account of life, death and medicine in the 16th and 17th centuries, with many surprising details. Includes numerous herbal remedies and medieval medical techniques. Introductions by his contemporaries William Lilly, John Gadbury, Henry Coley and others. Definitely one of the great astrology books. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read.
