Thirteenth-century scholars--even more than the poets and philosophers of ancient Greece and Rome--regarded the rule of the stars over human destiny as an indisputable fact, entering into their every conception of the universe. Theologians credited the stars with a power second only to that of God. Astrology offered a reasoned explanation of an infinite diversity of physical phenomena, and included psychology and ethics within its scope.\u003cbr\u003eThis volume traces the development of medieval conceptions of astrology from the fifth through fifteenth centuries, highlighted by the twelfth century's sudden revival of Aristotelian and Arabic learning, which heralded the scholastic age. It places particular emphasis on the conflict between ecclesiastical doctrine, inherited from the ancient church, and the growing demands of Arabic science. Enlightening interpretations of astrological references from a fascinating variety of literary sources comprise extracts from medieval romances and the works of Chaucer.\u003cbr\u003eDover (2005) unabridged republication of \u003ci\u003eThe Mediaeval Attitude Toward Astrology, Particularly in England, \u003c\/i\u003eYale University Press, New Haven, 1920.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 163\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.36 x 8.56 x 6.08 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 26, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45389703839846,"sku":"9780486436425","price":20.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/L2lNUTBmeEtUR3BycEtFbTNveWhVZz09.webp?v=1775073866","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/astrology-in-the-middle-ages-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
