LILLY, William. The World's Catastrophe, or Europe's many mutations until, 1666. The fate of England's Monarchy until its subversion. London: 1647. 4to pp. [vi], 71. With 2 half-page woodcuts and extra illustrated with an uncalled for nineteenth century portrait of William Lilly published after his death. Small burn hole in final leaf with loss of a few letters, otherwise a very good copy in modern full calf. Wing L 2252. Sweeney 2856.1 By far the most exhilarating part of this work is seven pages introduced on the title page as "A whip for Wharton." Sir George Wharton was a rival astrologer and Lilly pretends that this attack on someone he characterizes as this blind asse Wharton", is from the pen of a stranger unknown to him but who has come to his defence: "What fault of Mr Lilly or Mr Booker was it that his predictions failed? …. Thus because Corporall Wharton hath overwhelmed himself in such gross errours in judgement, therefore Mr. Lilly is a whelp, and Mr Booker a barking mungrill as he is pleased to term them". Provenance: The estate of Tony Sweeney

Modern panelled calf in blind with spine gilt in the 16th century style, splendidly executed. The Catholic Primers were manuals of popular devotion deriving from the medieval Books of Hours of the Blessed Virgin.

Four years earlier the first English printing of the Latin translation of the Book of Common Prayer had been published. Provenance: The estate of Tony Sweeney
1717 CATHOLIC PRINTED BOOK: Index Librorum Prohibitorum usque ad totum mensem Martii MDCCXVII. Regnante Clemente XI - Typographia Camera Apostolica, Rome. 1717. pp. [xx], 531. 8vo. Contemporary blind stamped pigskin over wooden boards with brass catches and clasps. An exceptionally fine copy of a rare edition of the Church Index of Prohibited Books. This was something sparked off by the Reformation and first issued in 1543 and was then first published in 1559. Thereafter the office of the Apostolic Camera periodically published updated catalogues of books deemed to be dangerous to faith and morals. This particular issue reprints the 1710 Decree of Clement XI prohibiting discussion of the Coeremoniarum Sinensium, or Chinese Rites. These concerned the elements of Confucianism that Fr Matteo Ricci S.J. had incorporated into the brand of Catholicism propagated in the Sino-Manchu Empire. Provenance: Monastery of St. Nicholas, Innsbruck with their dated inscription (1721) on the title page and final leaf. Provenance: The estate of Tony Sweeney
