A German Stargazer's Book of Astrology is the first English
translation of Astronomia Teutsch Astronomei, published in 1545 in
Frankfurt am Main. The original work was one of the earliest
astrological textbooks in the vernacular, predating William Lilly's
famous English primer Christian Astrology by over a decade. With
this translation, Peter Stockinger offers the English reader an
exciting insight into the working methods of a 16th century
astrologer living on the cusp of the Late Medieval and Early Modern
periods. The book contains a detailed introduction by the
translator, providing valuable background information and
historical context, and is comprehensively annotated throughout.
The translation contains, amongst many others, the following
chapters: -Of the Twelve Signs their Stars and Effects -Of Pictures
of the Heavenly Bodies (Constellations) -Of the Fixed Stars and
their Qualities -Of the Seven Planets -Of Eclipses and Comets
(Mundane astrology) -Of the Four Seasons (Weather astrology)
-Claudius Ptolemy's Perpetual Calendar
