Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos or Quadripartite is a book that explores the influence of the stars on human affairs. It is divided into four books, each of which delves into different aspects of astrology. The book was written by the ancient Greek astronomer and astrologer, Ptolemy, and has been translated and edited by J.M. Ashmand. The first book discusses the basic principles of astrology, including the signs of the zodiac and the planets. The second book explores the effects of the planets on human behavior and character. The third book focuses on the prediction of events based on astrological principles, while the fourth book examines the relationship between astrology and the natural world. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of astrology or the role of the stars in human affairs.Newly Translated from the Greek Paraphrase of Proclus with a Preface, Explanatory Notes and an Appendix Containing Extracts from the Almagest of Ptolemy and the whole of his Centiloquy together with A Short Notice of Mr. Ranger's Zodiacal Planisphere and an Explanatory Plate. Everything you could possibly hope to discover about the occult proficiency of astrology is contained in this rare and scarce book. �������The whole doctrine of astrology is commonly understood to have been completely overturned.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
