Example: The General estoria says notable things about Seth and his descendents:^([sic]) not least, it tells us that these men were the first to have knowledge of the liberal arts, eminently of astrology. This bit of information comes to the work from Josephus’ Antiquities of the Jews; the Alfonsines do scarcely more than expand Josephus’ astrology to cover all seven liberal arts and theology.

As we have read them, we have paused, we know not how often, and asked, Can it be that Dr. Gregory, the Professor of Chemistry in Edinburgh, really believes as he writes? May it not, after all, be a burlesque?
