Description
The Carmen Astrologicum is an ancient astrological poem that played a significant role in shaping later astrology. This new English translation by Dorotheus Of Sidon and 'Umar Al-Tabari brings together the original work with additional features, including footnotes, diagrams, and excerpts from the Greek prose.
Originally translated into Persian in the 3rd Century, this edition supersedes earlier versions, including a 1976 translation by Pingree. The updated 2nd edition (2019) provides a comprehensive understanding of Dorotheus's work, covering topics such as chart dating, triplicity lords, transits, and profections.
This book is an important resource for traditional astrologers, offering in-depth study and analysis of the Carmen Astrologicum. With its rich content and historical significance, it will repay close attention from those interested in the subject.
