From the beginning of recorded history we have looked to the heavens for inspiration and guidance.

This is one of the world's largest collections of religious works of this type, revealing much about our interpretation of the modern church and spirituality.

About the author

Alexander Ross (c. 1590–1654) was Chaplain-in-Ordinary to King Charles I and vicar of St. Mary's Church, Carisbrooke, in the Isle of Wight, from 1634 to his death. That same year, in an effort to defend Aristotle against the heliocentric theory of Copernicus, he published Commentum de Terrae Motu Circulari Refutatus, insisting on an immobile earth. George Sale spuriously (and unflatteringly) attributed to Ross the English translation of Du Ryer's 1647 French Qur'an; the association has stuck ever after.
