Editore: [Bartholomaeus Kistler], after 31 Dec, Strasbourg, 1499
Da: Liber Antiquus Early Books & Manuscripts, Chevy Chase, MD, U.S.A.
Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Further fifteenth-century editions were published in Latin, German, and Italian versions. This edition, printed by Kistler, is number 11 in Kurze's census of editions in all languages (for the date, see the bib. notes at the end of this description). Illustrated with 46 woodcut illustrations in text, including large vignette to title-page. Bound in 17th c. alum-tawed pigskin (remboîtage), blind-tooled in Southern Germany with triple-fillet panel of interlacing palmettes and a central saint (Saint Benedict?) within a wreath on both boards (binding lightly rubbed, small repairs to spine). Excellent, complete, copy with good margins. Minor marginal soiling, a few clear damp-stains, ink stain in margin of one leaf; three contemporary annotations by a German reader as illustration titles. Provenance: from the renowned Fürstlich Stolberg-Wernigerodesche Bibliothek, founded by Graf Wolf Ernst zu Stolberg (1546-1606). Armorial stamp ("Grafl. Stolbergische Bibliothek z. Wernigerode") at foot of title. This is an unusually fine copy (and a rare edition) of the most important illustrated 15th c. book of prophecies, written by Johannes Grünbach (Lichtenberger), Imperial astrologer at the court of Friedrich III, hailed "as a miracle of nature, a man not inferior to Ptolemy, and by many regarded a prophet" (Thorndike). Despite being condemned by the theological faculty of Cologne in 1492, the book achieved numerous editions. "Heinrich Knoblochtzer printed the first edition, in Latin, in 1488 and a German translation around 1490 using the same woodcuts. In June and July 1492, Jakob Meydenbach of Mainz issued a Latin and a German edition that reused the woodcuts from Knoblochtzer's editions. Bartholomäus Kistler of Strasbourg then issued German editions in 1497, 1500, and 1501 and two Latin editions ['not before 31 Dec. 1499']."(Green, Prophets in Print, p. 43) Yet, the book's popularity also impacted the survival rate of copies; all editions are now extremely rare. ISTC records four copies of this edition in North America (Lilly Library, LC, Morgan, Huntington). Only seven other North American institutions hold any 15th c. edition (Harvard, NYPL, Newberry, Met. Museum, Trinity, Williams, The Walters.) "The secret of Lichtenberger's success lay in the adaptation of prophecy and prognostication to the medium of print and, above all, in the creation of a new kind of prophetic author . As a popular compilation of prophecies in combination with astrology, Lichtenberger's 'Prognosticatio' had no equal. Not only the several early editions but, particularly, the many later editions, retranslations, and re-combinations with other works made the 'Prognosticatio' the most successful prophetic compilation and the most influential combination of astrology and prophecy of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries." (Green) A key factor in the book's popularity was its striking images. "From its first edition in 1488, Lichtenberger's 'Prognosticatio' had a distinctive graphic identity. Later publishers treated its illustrations as an essential element of the work."(Green). As late as 1527, Luther observed, "[Lichtenberger] hit the mark in several things, and came especially near with the pictures and images, much more so than with the words." The series of 46 illustrations in this edition, which follow the iconography of the Heidelberg 1488 editio princeps, are ascribed to Bartholomaeus Kistler, who also acted as the publisher (see N. F. Palmer). "The 'Prognosticatio' brings astrological prognostication and various prophetic authorities to bear on questions of politics and foreign relations, the fortunes of ecclesiastical leaders and clerical reform, the depredations of Muslim invaders, failures of public and private morality, and the advent of a false prophet, and it also makes a number of predictions concerning the years from 1488 to 1567. The impetus for its appearance was the conjunction of Saturn and Mars in the year 1484, which the astrologer Paul of Middelburg had treated at some length in his twenty-year prognostication for 1484-1504. Rather than rendering his own judgment on the conjunction, Lichtenberger copied extensively from Middelburg's work as well as from a comet tract printed in 1474 and other prophetic compilations. "[In fact], Paul of Middelburg complained bitterly in his 1492 Invective that Lichtenberger's wholesale borrowing from his work -without even once mentioning his name- was scarcely to be borne, and he particularly saw the images as the modus operandi of Lichtenberger's intellectual theft: 'He also added foolish pictures of women in labor, members of religious orders fighting and beating upon one another, crowing roosters, the Antichrist teaching, the emperor devastating Rome, and various other pictures of kings and princes, so that, having changed its appearance, he could usurp to himself my work and not appear to have only recited it.' "The first woodcut in the 'Prognosticatio' is simultaneously a visual statement of authority, an encapsulation of the work's contents and editorial program, and a recapitulation of the preceding four decades of print history. On the left, Ptolemy and Aristotle represent the inheritance of classical antiquity in astrology and astronomy, while Birgitta of Sweden and Brother Reinhart (depicted as a hermit), mediate Christian visionary prophecy in the tradition of Joachim of Fiore. Between them stands the Sibyl, both a pre-Christian observer of the heavens, like Ptolemy and Aristotle, and a foreteller of Christian salvation, like her religious colleagues. All the figures are illuminated in equal measure by divine emanations from [God] above. The figures in the woodcut represent both Lichtenberger's sources and also traditions that had become established in print since Gutenberg and his associates had printed the Sibyl's Prophecy. "Lichtenberger was born as Johannes Grünbach around the year 1440 near the town of Baumholder in southwestern Germany. All that is know.

Loose C18 ms. paper slip with inventory, further inventories (one dated 1819) to three ll., ms. Octob 19, 1810 Mr Bagtham to rear pastedown. A well-preserved, mysterious English ms. on judicial astrology the relic of a provincial amateur s engagement with what was, by the late C18, an art in decline. The orderly layout, clear handwriting and plain binding suggest these were notes taken for private study. In the first half of the C18, astrology had come to be closely associated with a scandalous art and forms of quack medicine, so much so that practitioners did not associate themselves publicly with their studies. It thus lost the prestige it had enjoyed in the C17 as a discipline. There are definitely some facets of the art which had fully disappeared by the 1720s but which in the last decades of the C18 emerged again. Of fundamental importance [ ] was the revival of works [ ] intended to teach the art of astrology to those unversed in it. After 1780 these works started to be published and distributed again, demonstrating that the art had again achieved enough public prominence among the literate to cause some to be interested in learning its practice (Clements, 117). Among these was The Young Student s Guide in Astrology (1785) by George Mensforth, who wrote it because he was sensible of the great difficulty of obtaining books of good authors on [ ] Astrology (and those at a very high price when met with) . This ms. notebook was clearly produced to obviate to this scarcity no earlier than the mid-C18 (as per watermark) but before the 1780s revival. The author i.a. painstakingly transcribed over 200pp., many from vols 1 and 3 of Christian Astrology (1647) by the famous William Lilly (1602-81), with additional excerpts from Defectio Geniturarum (1697) by John Partridge (1644-1714), a most prominent and controversial astrologer c.1700. Lilly and Partridge were practitioners with business premises and a wide-ranging clientele, and were much requested for horoscopes; their almanacs also advertised their medical treatments. The focus of the notebook is on nativities (horoscopes) and judicial astrology, with detailed methods to calculate the effects of Directions, Revolutions, Profections, and Transits , and discussing those generall Accidents which in a natural course depend upon the signification of the 12 Houses of Heaven . The author engaged critically with late C17 debates on horoscopes, inserting passages from Partrige s Defectio Geniturarum (1697), which epitomised the latter s critical change of mind concerning traditional horoscope methodology. Selected excerpts from Lilly include theories and calculations of directions (the occurrence of good or bad accidents, e.g., predictions of the best time to marry or a time of danger and death); profections (the prioritization of specific planetary transits, their projected advancement and consequences thereof); bodily infirmities (weak sight, defects in the ears , impediments of the tongue , kidney conditions, madness , stones, gout); family fortunes (how many servants, how much cattle); and predictions on future travels. In 1810-19, this notebook was being used.

The privately affixed Index condensed some secret knowledge important to the preowner of this book: "Colours of the Planets", "Combustion", "Face of a Planet", "Names of Planets and Signs", and it also mentions a case in which a "Thief to be judged of by the peregrine Planet" etc. From the 18th-century-library of one "Joseph Clark", with his name in ink verso the titlepage of the "Nativities": "Joseph Clark - his Book - 1765". William Lilly (11 May [O.S. 1 May] 1602 9 June 1681) has been described as "the most abused as well as the most celebrated astrologer of the seventeenth century". Born the son of a yeoman farmer in Leicestershire, Lilly travelled to London as a youth to take up a servant's position. Seven years later he secured his fortune by marrying his former master's widow, allowing him the leisure to study astrology. In 1644, during the English Civil War, he published the first of many popular astrological texts,and in 1647 he published Christian Astrology, a huge compendium of astrological technique. This was the first of its kind to be printed in the English language rather than Latin, and is said to have tutored "a nation in crisis in the language of the stars". By 1659, Lilly's fame was widely acknowledged and his annual almanac was achieving sales of around 30,000 copies a year. Lilly's autobiography, published towards the end of his life in 1681, at the request of his patron Elias Ashmole, gives candid accounts of the political events of his era, and biographical details of contemporaries that are unavailable elsewhere. It was described, in the late 18th century, as "one of the most entertaining narratives in our language", in particular for the historical portrayal it leaves of men like John Dee, Simon Forman, John Booker, Edward Kelley, including a whimsical first meeting of John Napier and Henry Briggs, respective co-inventors of the logarithm and Briggsian logarithms, and for its curious tales about the effects of crystals and the appearance of Queen Mab. In it, Lilly describes the friendly support of Oliver Cromwell during a period in which he faced prosecution for issuing political astrological predictions. He also writes about the 1666 Great Fire of London, and how he was brought before the committee investigating the cause of the fire, being suspected of involvement because of his publication of images, 15 years earlier, which depicted a city in flames surrounded by coffins. Lilly was a controversial character who was both aided and abetted by powerful friends and enemies. He attracted the attention of many members of Parliament, through the support of Sir Bulstrode Whitelocke, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of England, (to whom he dedicated his Christian Astrology), but also accused Members of Parliament of engineering charges against him in 1651. To his supporters he was an "English Merlin"; to his detractors he was a "juggling wizard and imposter". He is described as having been a genius at something "that modern mainstream opinion has since decided cannot be done at all", and having developed his stature as the most important astrologer in England through his social and political involvement, as well as his impact on the astrological tradition.
