The popularized version of this work would be however the third edition, revised and enlarged. Jerónimo Cortés was a Spanish astronomer and mathematician. He lived between the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries and published in Valencia what today we might call popular scientific literature for everyday use. His very popular Lunario combined astrological predictions with information and suggestions relevant to health, agriculture and daily life. His sources ranged from the canonical authorities of mathematics, astronomy and natural philosophy, to contemporary authors of scientific and popular science texts, such as Giovanni Battista Della Porta, Girolamo Cardano and Girolamo Manfredi, among the Italians, or Juan Pérez de Moya and Juan de Aranda, among the foreigners.
