About this Book Scan

Carefully scanned in full colour from our original printing purchased in the 2000s.

The revised and reset second or third edition (1658 or 1671) of famed 17th century herbalist Nicholas Culpeper’s main work on medical astrology. As our original of this edition lacks the main title page and they were essentially identical internally according to library records, we cannot be sure which of the two possible printings this one is. The Urinalia supplment is dated 1658.
