Description
The Anthology is a collection of instructional texts on astrology written by Vettius Valens, a renowned astrologer of the ancient world. This publication marks the first time that the entirety of the Anthology has been translated into English.
Translated by Mark T. Riley, a retired Classics professor, and accompanied by diagrams to illustrate Valens' chart examples, this book provides a unique insight into the practice of astrology in ancient times. The Anthology includes over 100 examples to demonstrate how birth charts were interpreted in antiquity.
Alongside the translation, the book features an extensive survey of what is known about Valens' life and work, as well as a foreword by Chris Brennan. This comprehensive edition is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of astrology and the ancient world.
