This comprehensive biographical dictionary of more than 2,200
Western astrologers from the ancient times (beginning with the 2nd
century B.C.) down to the early 20th century includes living
persons born prior to 1936, as well as some astrologers born in or
after 1936 who are deceased. History is made by people, so
biography is the basis of history. In this book the reader will
find the names (and birth and death data) of most of the prominent
Western astrologers of the past and some indication of what they
did in the field of astrology. It is thus possible to learn much
about the history of astrology simply by reading the lengthier
biographical entries. However, the main purpose of this book is to
provide a ready reference and to give enough information about
these astrologers to enable the reader "to get to know" them. Lists
of books written by the astrologers are included along with, in
some cases, excerpts from their work.

is your key to understanding the laws of the new planetary age.
This volume examines the specific role of horoscopic astrology in
Western culture from antiquity to the nineteenth century. Focusing
on the public appearance of astrological rhetoric, the essays break
new ground for a better understanding of the function of horoscopes
in public discourse. The volume's three parts address the use of
imperial horoscopes in late antiquity, the transformation of
doctrines and rhetorics in Islamic medieval contexts, and the
important status of astrology in early modern Europe. The
combination of in-depth historical studies and methodological
considerations results in an important contribution to religious
and cultural studies.
