The Book of Knowledge: Treating of the Wisdom of the Ancients

This 1793 edition of "The Book of Knowledge," attributed to Erra Pater, a purported Jewish doctor of astronomy and physics, was printed in Hartford, Connecticut by Nathaniel Patten. The book, possibly a pseudonym for the English astrologer William Lilly, is divided into four parts and includes a section on legal forms such as bills, bonds, and indentures. This 1793 edition is considered rare; only one copy is known to exist.
