Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Physician, astrologer and occult philosopher, Ebenezer Sibly (1751-99) wrote popular works of medical theory and advice, including Culpeper's English Physician (1789) and this companion volume of 1795. A synthesis of theology, natural philosophy and medical science, the book argues for a microcosmic understanding of the human body as a composite of the four essential elements. An ambitious work, it bears witness to an important era in the development of modern medicine, as Sibly looks to combine an older hermetic tradition with new Enlightenment-era insights into the physical universe. In the final section of the work, Sibly touts his remedies, Lunar Tincture and Solar Tincture, developed to act upon female and male ailments, respectively. Composed from the 'pabulum of the universe', these medicines, Sibly claims, cure everything from gunshot wounds to dog bites.…

First edition of this fusion of astrology and medicine. Sibly, a physician and Freemason who straddled the worlds of magic and science, here demonstrates the equivalencies between the natural and supernatural worlds. It was issued with an illustrated appendix to Culpeper's British Herbal bound at the rear, which includes an early depiction of breadfruit. Sibly (1751-c.1799) regarded the findings of the Scientific Revolution as entirely compatible with the work of alchemists and astrologers, suggesting that the experimental discoveries of figures such as Newton and Lavoisier were merely refinements of the ancient theories of Paracelsus and Geber. The occult influences on Sibly's medical practice, such as his theory of the interconnection of a patient's celestial horoscope and their physical body, are evidenced through his nativity charts of patients with diseases such as scarlet and "putrid" fevers. He also includes a defence of animal magnetism, a similar unification of the occult and medicine. The guide was extremely popular, going through several editions in the 19th century, which made Sibly a key figure in the revival of astrology and natural magic. ESTC T155164.
