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.
