[0] After the original John Sprint edition of 1701
[1] A collection of texts on alchemy, astrology and magic, directed by René Alleau
[2] This edition, in modern type, is based on the earlier French translation by Nicolas de Bourdin from the Latin version of Melanchton, but his translation has been revised and modernised by the present editorial team, with certain particularly confused passages having been retranslated from the edition of F. E. Robbins.
[3] With separate title page to [p. 127]: “Das Centiloquium, oder die Hundert Sentenzen Cl. Ptolemaei”
[4] A collection of publications founded by James Loeb in 1911, and collectively edited at this time by James Henderson
[5] A scholarly edition of the Greek text with facing English translation. The source text was collated by Robbins himself from numerous manuscripts of the Tetrabiblos, with careful reference to an earlier (tenth century) surviving manuscript of Proclus’ paraphrase of the same text
[6] An undated recent reprint of the original edition published in 1940. No printing history is declared
[7] In all, 74 copies were produced with an accompanying boxed suite of the illustrations on other types of paper, but those numbered 1-31 differed in the details of the types of paper used, and additionally came with original gouache paintings
[8] Reset from the original edition two-volume edition of 1822 and 1823
[9] As indicated by the credits, a reprint of the edition above. No library records could be found for this edition. It is presumed to have been published in the late 1950s based on its place in the present series of publications
[10] A further credit reads ‘with the assistance of Pieter de Leemans’. De Leemans is later revealed to have thoroughly revised the edition and indices.
[11] Described as a ‘research centre for Ancient, Medieval, and Renaissance philosophy at the Institute of Philosophy of the KU Leuven’
[12] A series of publications collectively edited by Russell L. Friedman, Jan Opsomer, Carlos Steel and Gerd Van Riel
[13] This volume is a critical edition of a previously unpublished Latin translation by Willem Van Moerbeke (c. 1215 – c. 1286) of Ptolemy’s Tetrabiblos based on manuscripts held at Oxford and Venice. It comprises a study (pp. 3-143 + bibliography); the Latin text (pp. 155-303); and extensive Greek-Latin and Latin-Greek lexical cross-referencing indices. The critical edition is said to have been planned many years ago by the late Fernand Bossier (1933-2006), former editor of the Latin series of the Corpus Christianorum series of publications. Bossier had written notes towards it, in collaboration with Luc Anthonis, who had prepared a provisional version of the text. Following Bossier’s death, the project was shelved until the present editorial team took it on, making use of the existing contributions of Anthonis and Bossier
[13a] The copyright to this work is ascribed to Catherine Rankovic, perhaps the real name of Sylvia Sky
[13b] Internal references to dated recent events in the preface indicate no earlier than the Spring of 1828, with credible COPAC records also suggesting 1828, though others estimate 1820, which is impossible in view of the internal references
[14] A series of publications edited by Robert Maynard Hutchins, with Associate Editor Mortimer J. Adler, an extensive board, three editorial consultants, and Executive Editor Wallace Brockway. The series is said to be ‘published with the editorial advice of the faculties of the University of Chicago’
[15] Ptolemy’s Almagest fills the first 478 main pages; Copernicus On the Revolutions spans pp. [497]-838; Kepler’s Epitome Books IV and V span pp. [839]-1004; and Kepler’s The Harmonies of the World Book V spans pp. [1005]-1085
[16] The copyright dates given for the individual translations differ, with that for the Almagest translation stated as 1938, 1939 and 1948; that for Copernicus On the Revolutions 1939, and that for Kepler’s Epitome also 1939; but no copyright date is expressly stated for Kepler’s The Harmonies of the World. It is not made apparent in what form the translations with earlier copyright dates were previously published
[16a] The original printing date of this oft-printed work is not given, but other online records suggest 1994, and internal references show it must be after 1991
[17] The present volume consists of a greyscale facsimile with facing transcription of an astrological almanac from 1698, preceded by a 12-page introduction to the history of astrology by Puntar. Unfortunately, the pages have been misbound in order in this copy, but it is nonetheless complete with all its pages
[18] The instance of ‘…’ in the title are as printed; I have not contracted the text
[19] Dated 1993, but this is highly suspect in application to the present printing in view of the presence of the publisher’s web-address upon the rear cover
[20] This copy bears a sticker to ffep indicating that it was sold (in the United States) by the Brotherhood of Light, Los Angeles. But in view of the printing address, the work is presumed to have been self-published by a British and most probably a Scottish author whose identity is unknown
[21] Library records show 1931
[22] For this first book, she writes under the pseudonym of “Angel Star”, but the copyright is credited to her, and she admits to being the author in later books
