It is cited as evidence of what Lilly himself taught and practiced, not as evidence that any of it is true or predictive. It is in the public domain and can be read directly by anyone checking a specific claim against it. A claim about how later astrologers changed or departed from Lilly's own method needs a separate source tracing that later history, since this text only documents the seventeenth century practice it describes.FactsClaims Backed By This Source (406 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsCitationAuthorWell-attestedWilliam LillyPublisherWell-attestedThomas Brudenell, LondonPublication YearWell-attested1647URLWell-attestedhttps://archive.org/details/ca-william-lilly/mode/2upSource TypeWell-attestedprimary-textAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1William Lilly's own seventeenth century primary text, the standard statement of the traditional astrological practice of his time, cited as evidence of what Lilly himself taught rather than that it is true.NotesWell-attestedThe standard English-language statement of seventeenth-century traditional practice.
