This is a much more elaborate work than the annual variety. Moore based his predictions on the work of Cyprian Leowitz but does not include Leowitz's prediction of the end ot the world in 1583. He is also careful to add in a marginal note beside a prediction of calamities in 1568 'Th' autbor hereof beyng an hye SIXTEENTH-CENTURY BOOKS with the Quattuor Sermones by an anonymous author, was initiated by William Caxton in 1483.
