Title
A Brief and Most Easy Introduction to the Astrological Judgement of the Stars
Subject
Astrology - early works to 1800.
Description
As an English translation coming thirty years after the original Latin publication, this book tells more so about society and culture in 1598 rather than the original’s 1557, given the sometimes ambiguous nature of translation. This book explores how the positioning of the stars complements or inhibits certain life habits of people from the late 1500s.
