Half calf over boards. Zustand: Near Fine. Twelfth edition in four parts. Twelfth edition in four parts. Half calf over boards. Ebenezer Sibly (1751 - c. 1799) was an English physician, astrologer and writer on the occult. He studied amongst other things, medicine, alchemy, and history of witchcraft. The masterwork, "A New and Complete Illustration." covered aspects of the classical tradition of astrology, but also "its so called magical strain of divination (as exemplified in horary practice and elections and also worked with ingress charts and solar returns" (Bobrick, The Fated Sky, pg 246). Examples of Sibly's divination questions include: "An Engagement at Sea. Which shall have victory?" "Shall the Querent Marry the Gentleman she loves?" "Question on theft." "Shall the Querent attain the Promotion desierd?" The work originally appeared in 1784 and had already gone through several printings by the time of Sibly's death in 1799, and went through several more after, with revisions and under varying titles. A beautifully bound and complete single-volume collection of this landmark publication in astrology. To say that Sibly was just an occultist and astrologer would be dismissive. The assessments, predictions, and observances are quite scholarly and scientific. He referenced major figures of history including Agrippa, Aristotle, Newton, Paracelsus, Swedenborg, and Culpeper. A strange, wonderful, and comprehension occult tome, and should be regarded as one of the most important occult texts on scientific and medical astrology of the 18th-19th century. Tight, bright, and unmarred. Four separate title pages, dated 1817, 1815, 1822, and 1820. Thick 4to, 26 x 21cm, [13], 1130pp, frontis, 30 copper plates intact, as called for by the index, tables and charts. A few marginal notes in ink and pencil throughout, some scattered foxing, mainly to plates, and staining in gutters, otherwise clean. Half polished calf over marbled boards, gilt stamped border and date on spine with compartments stamped in blind. Calf spine label with title in gilt just lifting at the corners.

Quarter calf. Zustand: Near Fine. Revised. Revised. Quarter calf. Ebenezer Sibly (1751 - c. 1799) was an English physician, astrologer and writer on the occult. He studied amongst other things, medicine, alchemy, and history of witchcraft. Sibly's 'New And Complete Illustration of the Occult Sciences' is an exceptional work, without a doubt one of the key works on astrology and magic of the period, and one of the earliest significant astrological studies of the American revolution. To say that Sibly was just an occultist and astrologer would be dismissive. The assessments, predictions, and observances are quite scholarly and scientific. He referenced major figures of history including Agrippa, Aristotle, Newton, Paracelsus, Swedenborg, and Culpeper. This set is more scarce than the compiled sets of the 19th century and is complete. [Collation discussion] Opinions differ, but it seems that the first 'volume' of Sibly's New and Complete Illustration of the Occult Sciences was first published in 1784, with the subsequent volumes printed over the next few years. The volumes went through a number of printings, but as mixed sets were often issued and the individual parts were themselves often 'mixed' (that is made up using sheets from a number of different printings) identification of them is difficult, such as the case with these volumes. The numbering and arrangement of the plates for example is quite erratic. The majority of the volumes are issued and compiled posthumously (after 1800). Under variant titles, Sibly discusses details of magical procedure, and an account of the spirit world derived from Reginald Scot, in the 1665 edition of Discoverie of Witchcraft and recollects an encounter with "higher life forms" in Part IV (1122-1123). A strange, wonderful, and comprehension occult tome, and should be regarded as one of the most important occult texts on scientific and medical astrology of the 18th century. Issued as such: [Part 1, 1790], [Part 2, 1784], [Part 3, 1792], [Part 4, 1791]; includes a "Dedication to the Ancient and Honourable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons," "To the Young Student in Astrology," "Poetical Invocation to Urania," and "The Author's Preface to this New Edition." Includes the distinguished plates reproduced by magician A.E. Waite in the 19th century: "Signs, Characters, and Magical Knife" and Edward Kelly, a magician in the act of invoking the spirit of a deceased person." Tight, bright, and unmarred. Rebound in quarter calf over marbled boards, 2 volumes (xii; 618; 1126 pp + index) in fine condition with gilt titling and raised bands. Fresh endpapers, the text and plates are clean, with mild foxing/discoloration and trimmed edges, a few pages (title) with basic repairs, small tears, otherwise an excellent text block specimen. Large quartos in four 'parts' bound in two volumes, 29 unnumbered leaves of plates, each part with individual title pages. Numerous tables, diagrams, and illustrations in text. Text is complete and collated with all plates present.

Scarce early printing of Sibly's The Medical Mirror. Octavo, bound paper-covered boards, illustrated with engraved frontispiece, vignette title page and 13 anatomical plates engraved by W. Newman. New Edition with large Additions. In very good condition. Bound into a three-ring medical binder. Exceptionally rare, with only a handful of copies having appeared at auction in the last 80 years. English physician, astrologer and writer on the occult Ebenezer Sibly is best known for his New and Complete Illustration of the Celestial Science of Astrology, published in four volumes in 1784. The work, which had later editions under various titles, gave details of magical procedure, and an account of the spirit world derived from Reginald Scot, in the 1665 edition of Discoverie of Witchcraft. As a student of medicine, he became interested in the theories on animal magnetism by Anton Mesmer, joining Mesmer's Harmonic Philosophical School, and later also theosophy. The Medical Mirror contains a detailed treatise on the stages of human pregnancy followed by a treatise on the Principles of Life and Death and a list of cases in which Sibly's Solar and Lunar Tinctures cured a variety of maladies and conditions.
