Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an interpretation of an ancient astronomical poem by the Roman writer Manilius. Manilius was writing in a time before technology allowed for the scientific study of the stars and planets, yet his epic poem on astronomy demonstrates a detailed understanding of the accepted wisdom of the time. Ancient astronomers believed that the positions of celestial bodies at the moment of a personâs birth determined their future life events and personality. The author examines Manilius' writing in detail, looking at the practical and philosophical themes in the text, setting them within the context of the knowledge available to Manilius and discussing how his complex astrological theories and ideas still resonate with modern readers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
