The Tetrabiblos Or Quadripartite Of Ptolemy

The Tetrabiblos Or Quadripartite Of Ptolemy: Being Four Books, Relative To The Starry Influences (1828) is a book written by James Wilson. The book is a translation of the ancient Greek astrological treatise by Claudius Ptolemy, which is considered to be one of the most important works on astrology in the Western tradition. The Tetrabiblos is divided into four books, each of which deals with a different aspect of astrology: the influence of the stars on human character and destiny, the effects of the planets on the weather and natural phenomena, the interpretation of astrological charts, and the use of astrology in medicine. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and techniques of astrology, as well as a detailed analysis of the astrological influences on human life. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and practice of astrology, as well as for students of ancient Greek philosophy and science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
