The 1641 Latin anthology 'Astrologia Aphoristica' was translated into English by John Partridge in 1679 under the title 'Mikropanastron, or An Astrological Vade Mecum'. While individual components of the collection (such as the aphorisms of Ptolemy, Hermes, and Almansor) have been translated by modern scholars, no complete modern scholarly translation of the entire 1641 compilation exists. The 1679 translation is the only complete English version of this specific collection.
