Description

Description from Internet Archive (opens in a new tab)

In 1620, John Melton published an expose on how Astrology and other religious institutions scam their followers for money. Unfortunately the original book is very difficult to read due to its archaic English and obscure references. In 2019, Martin Brockhaus updated the language and added chapter notes to explain the obscure references and remarkable people from history that Melton mentions. Thus, Annotated Astrologer clearly tells Melton's thought provoking and entertaining story,. You can find a physical copy and eBook on Amazon or read the pdf here. Enjoy!
