About this Book Scan
Carefully scanned in full colour from our complete original printing of the first edition of 1679, which was purchased from an American professional bookseller in the 2000s.
John Partridge’s Mikropanastron: Or an Astrological Vade Mecum is a pocket-sized book of over 350 pages and covers natal, horary and electional astrology. Perhaps partly because of its miniature physical size format and appearance relatively late in the 17th century, survivals of complete original printings through to the second-hand marketplace are rare.
