Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
The French historian Auguste Bouche-Leclercq (1842 1923) made major
contributions to our knowledge of the Hellenistic period. A member
of the Academie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres, he was also
made an officer of the Legion d'Honneur. Bouche-Leclercq is also
considered the first modern historian of astrology: he had
developed a long-lasting interest in divination during his
extensive researches on ancient Greek civilisation. This field had
not been considered worthy of serious scholarly study until he
published his Histoire de la divination dans l'antiquite between
1879 and 1882. L'Astrologie grecque, first published in 1899, is
another important work, still referred to today. Bouche-Leclercq
looks back to the oriental roots of Greek astrology. He delves into
the specific influence of the zodiac signs, and explains how the
celestial sphere was divided in order to draw horoscopes. Other
topics include astrology in Roman culture, as well as astrological
medicine."
