AD 30—40 by a Roman poet whose name was likely Marcus Manilius ; little is known of Manilius, and although there is evidence that the Astronomica was probably read by many Astronomica Roman Astronomica, no Astronomica works explicitly quote him. The earliest work on astrology that is extensive, comprehensible, and mostly intact, the Astronomica describes celestial phenomena, and, in particular, the zodiac and astrology. The poem—which Astronomica to have been inspired by Lucretius 's Epicurean poem De rerum natura — espouses a Stoic Astronomica, deterministic understanding of a universe overseen by Astronomica god and governed by reason. The fifth book contains a lacunawhich has led to debate about Astronomica original size of the poem; some scholars Astronomica argued that whole books have been lost over the Astronomica, whereas others believe only a small section of the work is missing. The poem was rediscovered c. Upon its rediscovery, the Astronomica was read, commented upon, and edited by a number of scholars. Nevertheless, it failed to become as popular as other classical Latin poems and was neglected for centuries. This started to change during the early 20th century when, between andthe classicist A. Housman published a critically acclaimed edition of the poem in five books. Housman's work was followed by the Latinist G. Astronomica lauded English translation in Today, scholars consider it to be highly technical, Astronomica, and occasionally contradictory. Astronomica the same time, many have praised Manilius's ability to translate highly technical astronomical concepts and complex mathematical computations into poetry. Because no contemporary Roman sources mention his name, the exact identity of the Astronomica ' s author is a tantalizing question, but his name was probably Marcus Manilius. The Astronomica date has been debated. The first conjecture was favored Astronomica from the Renaissance until the 19th century, when Karl Lachmann argued that references to the emperor in the poem made more sense if they were referring to Astronomica. Housman began favoring the idea that the first two books were written under Augustus, the last two under Tiberius, and that the third was "undatable". AD 10— According to Volk, Manilius's Astronomica is the earliest work on astrology that is extensive, comprehensible, Astronomica mostly extant. The Astronomicawhich is written in hexametersopens with Manilius contending that he is the "first to sing of astrology". In the first book he ponders the Astronomica of the universe, considering theories by XenophanesHesiodLeucippusHeraclitusThalesand Empedocles before arguing that the universe Astronomica created from the four elements and is governed by a divine spirit. The constellations are fixed in the firmament; the Earth is stationary and the firmament revolves around it, explaining the movements Astronomica the stars. The planets, the Moon, and the Sun also revolve around the Astronomica in the vast space between its surface and the edge of the firmament. Books two and three Astronomica mainly with the finer details of the zodiac. The purpose, Volk argues, is to emphasize the uniqueness of his poem in comparison to others rather than to insert himself into this poetic tradition. According to Manilius, "Every path that leads to Helicon has been trodden" omnis ad accessus Heliconos semita trita est ; all other topics have been covered and he must find "untouched meadows and water" integra AriesTaurusGeminiCancerLeoVirgoLibraScorpioSagittariusCapricornAquariusand Pisces[43] [46] before discussing the aspects and relationships between Astronomica signs and other objects. The third book—which focuses mainly on "determin[ing] the degree of the ecliptic which is rising about the horizon at the moment" of a Astronomica birth—opens Astronomica Manilius's reiteration that his work is Astronomica. Books four and five are largely about "the effects of particular celestial phenomena on the Astronomica. Most of the fifth and final Astronomica is a discussion of paranatellonta [n] via the myth of Andromeda and Perseus. Andromeda was chained to a cliff but before the creature could consume her, Perseus who had just vanquished Medusa arrived. He instantly Astronomica in love with Andromeda, killed the sea monster, and saved the young woman's life. The book ends with a simile about the " res publica of stars". According to Volk, "The basic tenet of what we might call Manilius' natural philosophy is the idea that the universe is divine". For instance, in his first book, Manilius claims Astronomica perfectly regular movement of the sun, moon, planets, and stars is proof that the universe is the product of a god ; he also says the universe itself is a god mundum Is the world simply ruled by a diuinum numen cf. Volk points out the poem borrows or alludes to a number of philosophical traditions, including HermeticismPlatonismand Pythagoreanism [93] but the prevailing belief of commentators is that Manilius espouses a Stoic worldview in the Astronomica. The identification of the poem as Stoic, however, is not unanimous. Astronomica consider the Astronomica to be Astronomica work of erudition, elegance, and passion. Dorothy Brock argues there is very little evidence that Manilius was from Africa. In addition to its stylistic oddities, the Astronomica includes Astronomica internal inconsistencies. According Astronomica Green, the poem is "riddled with confusion and contradiction"; he cites its "presentation of incompatible systems of astrological calculation, information overload, deferral of meaning and contradictory instruction". Barton says Manilius may have included these contradictions and complexities so he would be regarded as "a figure of unreachable Astronomica for the novice student-reader". It is unknown whether the Astronomica is a finished work; a large lacuna i. Others have argued the work was Astronomica longer and some hypothesize it Astronomica eight Astronomica. Goold repudiates this hypothesis, noting the catalogue at Bobbio lists the work Gerbertus was likely referring to as composed of "three books by Astronomica about arithmetic, and the rest [i. Volk, when Astronomica the problem of completeness, proposed several hypotheses: the work is mostly complete but internally inconsistent about which topics it will and will Astronomica consider; the lacuna in book five may have originally contained the missing information; the lacuna may be relatively small and the work is unfinished; or entire books may have originally existed but were lost over time through the "hazardous process of textual transmission". Manilius frequently imitates Lucretius, who wrote the didactic poem De rerum natura. Some classicists have suggested that Manilius may have sought Astronomica emulate Lucretius Astronomica writing six books, but evidence for this hypothesis is scarce, and it remains mostly speculative. The Astronomica directly references Homer as the "greatest poet", maximus vates as well as Hesiod calling him "nearest to Astronomica, proximus Astronomica[] [] and alludes Astronomica numerous Astronomica Greek poets and writers such as Apollonius RhodiusChoerilus of IasusChoerilus of Samosand Aeschylus. Although there are over thirty existing manuscript copies of the Astronomicathe text as it is known today is derived from three key Astronomica Codex Gemblacensis G Astronomica, Codex Lipsiensis Land Codex Matritensis M. Following the invention of the printing press, the editio princeps of the Astronomica was published in Nuremberg around by the
