Description
Ancient Astrology Theory and Practice by Julius Firmicus Maternus Written in the 4th century AD, this comprehensive treatise on Greek astrology remains one of the most important works to have survived from the classical period. The Mathesis, as it is known, consists of eight books that explore the fundamentals of astrology, including introductory essays and practical applications. Translated by Jean Rhys Bram, this edition provides a unique insight into the astrological practices of the Roman Empire, shedding light on the intersection of magic, philosophy, science, and theology during this period. The book's significance extends beyond its historical value, as it served as a channel for astrological lore to the Middle Ages and Renaissance. With 337 pages of detailed information, this paperback edition is a valuable resource for those interested in understanding the principles of ancient astrology.
