A. E. Housman's five-volume critical edition of Marcus Manilius's
Astronomicon has long been regarded as the definitive work on the
subject. The task of bringing the edition together was one of
considerable proportion which took Housman twenty-seven years to
complete. It is now considered one of his most enduring and
important contributions to scholarship. This volume contains the
Latin text of the third book of Manilius, first published in 1916,
and then reissued in a second edition by the Cambridge University
Press in 1937. It offers a short note by A. S. F. Gow regarding the
alterations, as well as a preface by Housman in which he discusses
the astrological content of the work and notes the errors and
misinterpretations of previous editors.
