Description
Carmen Astrologicum by Dorotheus of Sidon is a foundational text in Greek astrology. Written in verse and translated into English from a fourth-century Pahlavi source, this work presents the author's approach to understanding the celestial bodies' influence on human affairs. The book comprises five books, each addressing a distinct aspect of astrology: judgement of nativities, marriage and children, length of life, transfer of years, and interrogations. Dorotheus draws upon Egyptian terms and the Dodecatemoria, a system of twelve twelfths within a sign, to inform his interpretative methods. This edition includes Pingree's Preface newly translated, modern charts, and tables to facilitate study. For those interested in exploring the mainstream of Greek astrology, Carmen Astrologicum offers a unique opportunity for insight into the subject.
