Hermes Book of Paranatellonta
August 8, 2008
Pseudo Pythagoras The book of Paranatellonta in Reginensis Vat. Lat. 1283 fol 1-8v. This is the first and likely the most important part of the selection of Spanish Medieval texts collected in the manuscript known as Reginensis Vat.

The virtues of Teriaca
July 20, 2008
The formula of Teriaca derives directly from Galen. De Theriaca ad Pisonem was one of the most read and commented parts of Galen texts in the Renaissance. .Essendo dunque già nel corpo humano entrato il veneno…hanno stimato i medici rationali che, mettendovi dentro un altro veneno, facilmente si smoverebbe per andare a trovare il suo [...]
Of Comets or blazing stars, Plinius book II
June 3, 2008
Of Comets or blazing stars, and cœlestiall prodigies, their nature, situation, and diverse sorts. THESE blazing starres the Greekes call Cometas, our Romanes Crinitas: dreadfull to be seene, with bloudie haires, and all over rough and shagged in the top like the bush of haire upon the head. The same Greekes call those starres Pogonias, which [...]
Hermes 14 stars, stones, herbs
May 31, 2008
The like consideration is to be had in all things concerning the figures of the fixed Stars: so they will have the Terrestiall [terrestrial] Ram to be under the rule of the Celestiall Aries: and the Terrestiall Bull, and Ox to be under the Celestiall Taurus. So also that Cancer should rule over Crabs, and [...]

Cardano on fixed stars in De iudiciis geniturarum (1547)
Stars at the border of Sagittarius, the three ones of third magnitude near or over the arrow, have a great influence in producing murderers. If they are well disposed they make heroes, men of war, tribunes, judges, responsible for other people's death; if ill disposed, they make wardens, subordinate
ABOUT STARS RISING WITH THE 12 SIGNS ACCORDING ALBUMASAR GREAT INTRODUCTION
Stars rising with portions of ecliptic, the so-called paranatellonta, have a central place in traditional astrology. Ancient texts give a lot of room to this subject, Manilius dedicated to paranatellonta the whole fifth book of his Astronomica, Firmicus lists them in two of the eight books of Mat
Some personal notes
A THIEF called ANTON GRIGORYEV Caesar divorced Pompeia at once, but when he was summoned to testify at the trial, he said he knew nothing about the matters with which Clodius was charged. His statement appeared strange, and the prosecutor therefore asked, "Why, then, didst thou divorce thy wife?"
A short guide to Ptolemaic primary directions
Reading here and there I see that primary directions are seen as very difficult and occult. It is not like that. Ideas which are behind are very easy to grasp, and modern software can do all the calculation for us: on the other hand people who have learned them generally use them as a way to show ho
The astronomy of primum mobile: Placidean directions under the pole

MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE MUSIC
Music in the Middle Ages and Renaissance is music for life, the sound of work, war, happiness, sadness, love, prayer. [vimeo 2654494] The Litaniae Sanctorum are one of the oldest prayers of the Church. They were established by Gregorius the Great in 590 AD to stop the plague. A medieval legend
Stade on Fixed stars
Fixed stars have a prominent part in traditional astrology: Ptolemy in the first book of Tetrabiblos lists them without giving any meaning, but we have several alternative sources for them, Manilius and Firmicus in the Latin world, Anonymous of 379 and two chapters from Liber Hermetis in theABOUT ME
My name is Margherita Fiorello from Rome, Italy.
