Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos

Ptolemy · 1822

O książce

The book every astrologer since has been arguing with. Ptolemy wrote it in second-century Alexandria as the companion to his Almagest — the stars' effects after the stars' motions — and defended the art the way a physician defends a prognosis: fallible, but not therefore false. Read here in Ashmand's 1822 translation, with the Centiloquy attached.
