An encyclopaedic compendium of occult knowledge from eighteenth-century England, covering judicial astrology, celestial magic, geomancy, physiognomy, and the interpretation of omens. Sibly synthesises the Western occult tradition — drawing on Agrippa, Paracelsus, and the grimoire corpus — into a single monumental work intended to bring the hidden sciences to an educated audience. A primary document of the British occult revival and a significant influence on subsequent generations of English occultists.
