Astrology in Medieval Manuscripts Paperback

Paperback

Item not Available

Description

In the Middle Ages the art of predicting earthly events and human characteristics from the movements of the stars and planets was a scientific branch of learning with a philosophical basis.

Its influence extended to natural philosophy and cosmology, medicine, agriculture, weather-forecasting and alchemy.

Yet astrology was never an entirely acceptable practice, attracting both religious and scientific objections.

These ambivalent medieval attitudes are just one aspect of this wide-ranging and clearly-written account of astrological ideas and practices in medieval society, comprehensively illustrated from a wide range of manuscripts.
