How is this an introduction?

It is an "introduction" in the way that one may imagine the Bible, say, as a single book written by a single author at a single time: It may be sold in the doodly-doo that way, but shows itself as clearly as being written over time by handfuls of folk who've been eaten by history before their anthology ever reached us. In this case, this is an edition composed in the 19th century that reoganizes Lilly's 17th century horary text around the editor's Victorian understanding of astrology. The first part of the text--which it calls a glossary--is clearly the editor's whole work, even further divorced from Lilly's Arabic and Hellenic sources than his basis guy--Ptolomy--was from the loose consensus of astrology practices we now know to have prevailed in his day. In any case, starting with this version of this book, would be a little like starting to learn math with a text that wrote numbers in Morse code dots and dashes at the start, only to change to common Arabic numerals from page 100 on with absolutely no explanation. I still think it's worthwhile as a text, once one can read differences like that for oneself. But, better to start learning from a specific person who knows where their specific doctrine of practice sits among the many eras and arguments of astrology's weird history.
