Michaelis Villanovani, Serveti: In Quendam Medicum Apologetica Disceptatio Pro Astrologia (1880) is a Latin-language book written by Michael Servetus, a Spanish theologian, physician, and astronomer. The book is a defense of astrology against criticisms made by a physician, whose name is not mentioned in the text. Servetus argues that astrology is a legitimate science that can be used to predict future events and understand human behavior. He draws on the works of ancient philosophers and astrologers, as well as his own observations and calculations, to support his arguments. The book is divided into several sections, each of which addresses a different aspect of astrology, such as the influence of the planets and stars on human affairs, the use of horoscopes to predict individual destinies, and the role of astrology in medicine. Despite its controversial subject matter, the book is considered an important work in the history of astrology and Renaissance thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
