This is the editio princeps, based on new papyrus discoveries, of a
Greek poem on astrology by an author whose notorious collaborations
with Simon Magus is novelistically recounted in the Clementina. A
versified handbook of horoscopes and introduction to the sciences,
it is the only Greek astrological poem to have been written in
elegiac couplets, and ist a new accession to the corpus of didactic
poetry in the tradition of Aratus' Phaenomena, Manilius'
Astronomica, and Ovid's Fasti. The edition offers a collection and
complete re-edition of the remains of the poem's original four
books: published and unpublished papyri, plus fragments and
testimonia preserved in the secondary tradition.
