Esoptron Astrologikon or Astrological opticks: A transcription of the 1655 R. Turner translation

28/3/2020/ 0915 

The following text comes from the rather remarkable work 

Esoptron Astrologikon or 

 Astrological opticks.

First published in the 1490s by Johannes Angelus, it gives an image for every single degree of the zodiac.This English translation by R. turner was first published in 1655, Facsimilies of the book have appeared before, vide http://www.lulu.com/shop/johannes-angelus/astrological-optics-natal-astrology-astrological-magic/paperback/product-280547.html) but to the author's knowledge, this is the first time the whole text has been retyped and placed online. 

The reason behind this extremely elaborate system is explained in the introduction. It was used as an aid to rectify nativities: to each degree of the zodiac is attached a symbol and a character description. which could be used to deduce the rising degree of someone with an unknown birth time. In turn, the job descriptions for these degrees can be used to the same end- or as Lilly says, could be used to determine which is the most suitable job for the native.

By performing the extremely laborious task of transcribing this book, I hope it would give scholars and practitioners an opportunity to study and use this text --  or perhaps, even create a better translation.  For a rather interesting discussion of the text see https://heavenastrolabe.wordpress.com/2009/07/08/about-the-stars-of-angelus-astrolabium-planum/.

The following text is the un-edited transcript of the original, which was found on EEBO. The transcript below does not consistently represent the erratic spelling, capitalisation, italicisation, and line breaks in the original text. The numbers by the side of each entry of the degrees are added by me for convenience. Anything in square brackets is also added by me. The numbers in square brackets are the positions of the page breaks in the original. In the two prefaces, I have used foilo numbers instead.

[The book starts with a dedicatory poem, which is not transcribed]

[3r] To The Reader

Take here the fruits of some cold Winter-nights which I have painfully susteyned, being desirous that the works of this Antient Author (being scarce to be had in the originall) should not dye in obscurity but be revived to see the light again: Though I have been both discouraged and prejudiced in my intents to reduce what of art should come into my hands, into the English tongue; not only by the ignorant and illiterate ; (but their reproach I value not; they doing but their dog-like nature, to bark at that which they know not.) but also by some time-serving, selfe-ended, selfe ayming, selfe-applauding persons; to them I say no more but γνῶθι σεαυτόν,

Reader, the discourse ensuing  was penned above 200. Years ago in the Latine tongue in Venice  by a learned author Johannes Angelus.  It being now almost gone out of print; I have endeavoured to revive it, and suit it to our English fash[3v]ion; here he first represents you with an emblem of Astrology; or an imaginary ascenstion of every degree of the Zodiack; thereby setting forth a description of the nature and quality of every person, signified by such an ascendant; which being well considerd and weighed with the position of the Planets, you may the better balance your judgment in the describing of any person, native [,] querent or quesited. In the next place followes the most copious judgments on Nativities that ever yet were written in the English Tongue, with the applications of the Moon to every Planet: And as I have herin endured much cold, and paines, in the writing of it; I hope you will reape much profit, in the studying of it.

[The rest of the intro is Robert Turner ranting about opponents of astrology. The last paragraph follows:]

[5verso ] Reader here is also annexed a Sygil of Saturn to be made when he comes into his Exaltation;  which I have the rather put in, because the elected time is now a coming: you may make an experiment of it, which happens but once in 30. Yeares; it was taken out of an Antient Author: hereafter perhaps you shall see the rest, in the meane time study the great book of God, and this; and you shall see them both agree to your good; which that it may, is the desire of hime who is Amicus omnibus, inimicus nullius, nisi sibipsi
[Unfortunately, the copy I have access to does not contain an image of the sigil of Saturn in question. If anoyone does have a picture of this sigil, i would be most grateful  for an image of it]

A Studio in arte coelesti,
15 Jan. 1655 ---- R. Turner.

[6r] William Lilly Student in Astrology unto the Lovers thereof.

This kind of Astrology now published by Mr. Turner , had its original from the Ægyptians, and was first made known to us in Europe  by the learned Jew EvenEzra, from whom I conveive Johannes Angelus had those Notes, which he first published at [6v] Venice 1494 and twenty yeares after reprinted; This learning is properly termed Monomæriaum Doctrina, or part of the Doctrine of the Sphears; and may be of great concernment unto parents who desire to know those Magisteries or Professions which would best suit with the natural constitution of their Children: For this is very true, that if the Nativity be exactly rectified, [7r] and the true degree of the signe arising , Horoscope or Ascendant, exactly found out, and then compared with the Decanate or Face of that signe, so arising; I say then, much of the Inclination of the Child will be found out, and unto what Magistery he is most propense: and so the parent may accordingly suite his Child with a Trade of Profession, answerable [7v] unto his proper Genius  or disposition, by which is meant the Native is like to prove an absolute Master in that Profession, he shall be put unto. I am straitened of time, else  I would discover the very manifold uses of this booke. The author  hath very well translated it, and delivered the astrologicall sense of every sentence, judiciously. I wish both the Translator, Statio[8r]ner and Book  it selfe; a kind acceptance the matter very highly deserving it. Thine,

William Lilly.
