From the Back Cover:
John Floyer was the first one to translate the Sibylline Oracles into English. He also recognized many historical events within the oracles' prophecies. His insight into the meaning of the prophetic figures and symbols are invaluable to anyone who desires to learn the meaning of the prophetic oracles.
Too many of the people who write about or translate the oracles actually do not believe they are genuine and call them fakes, but John Floyer presents good arguments and evidence for their authenticity.
Unfortunately, this book was originally published in 1713, and the English of that time was different enough from modern English to make it unreadable for the average person today. But now Michael Fortner has revised the text so that it now reads like modern English. He corrected the spelling of some words, and updated the grammar and punctuation to make it easier to read.

John Floyer was physician to the Queen of England and invented the second hand on watches so that doctors could take the pulse of patients.
