Astrology in Early Modern Scotland ca. 1560-1726 Jane Ridder-Patrick PhD University of Edinburgh 2012 DECLARATION I declare that this thesis has been composed by me and that the work is my own. It has not been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification, nor has it been published in any form. NB: Some of the material in chapters three, four and six expands work done towards the degree of MSc in History (University of Edinburgh, 2007). All of the work, however, is substantially different from any submitted towards that degree. The relevant parts of dictate manuscripts EUL, MS.3101.6, EUL, Dc.5.115 and EUL La.III.724 used in this thesis were transcribed by Kirsty Stewart. All other transcriptions are my own, as are all of the Latin translations, unless otherwise specified. i ABSTRACT Over the last generation scholars have demonstrated the fundamental importance of astrology in the early modern European worldview. While detailed studies have been undertaken of England and many areas of continental Europe, the Scottish experience has been almost completely overlooked. This thesis seeks to address that gap in the literature and recover a lost dimension of early modern Scottish intellectual life, one that was central and influential for a considerable period of time. The thesis examines the place of, and perceptions about, astrology in Scotland ca. 1560-1726. It demonstrates that despite well-worn arguments against it on theological, theoretical, moral-psychological and effectiveness grounds, astrology was largely accepted throughout all sectors of Scottish society until at least the final quarter of the seventeenth century. Opportunities to learn about it were widespread after the Reformation. As evidenced by student notebooks, it was taught in all of the universities, whose library contents reflect the subject's importance, and it was readily available to a large proportion of the populace through almanacs and other popular literature. Its uses, too, were widespread and various. Medical practitioners, both qualified and non-qualified, drew on it as a diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic guide and natural philosophers used it to ponder the phenomena and cycles of nature and human chronology. For those involved in negotiating the environment it was an aid to the timing of activities, while individuals interested in predicting future events and conditions could attempt to do so using the rather more suspect judicial astrology. By the last two decades of the seventeenth century, however, astrology was losing credibility among the educated, and the thesis examines and evaluates the factors that contributed to this, which include the ousting of scholasticism from academia by new approaches to understanding the natural world, the increasingly tainted image of the astrologer and the difficulty, if not impossibility, of subjecting astrology to the new experimental methods of the virtuosi. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements iv List of Figures and Tables v Abbreviations vi Introduction 1 Part One: Sources of Learning 1.

I have been fortunate in the highest degree in my supervisors, Dr Thomas Ahnert and Dr Adam Fox, to whom I owe an incalculable debt of thanks. By any measure they have been exemplary. Both of them are fine scholars and, quite simply, fine human beings and it has been a privilege to work with and learn from them. Without their guidance, patience and encouragement this thesis could never have evolved to the extent that it has. I gratefully acknowledge a generous grant from the Urania Trust which enabled the copying of a great deal of essential archival material, and my especial thanks go to one of its trustees, Christeen Skinner, for suggesting this as a source of funding. I should like to thank Kirsty Stewart for her magnificent transcription work on some challenging transcriptions, the librarians at Edinburgh University Special Collections for their endless patience and help, and Caroline Gerard for her generous assistance with genealogical questions. Through our shared interest in the history of astrology, Dr Monica Azzolini has been a much-appreciated source of inspiration and friendship over the last few years. I am grateful too to Dr Adam Budd both for his many kindnesses and his classes on methodology, and to Richard Kane and Karen Howie for their help so cheerfully given on so many occasions. The opportunity to share the triumphs and sorrows of fellow students and the companionship, support and help received have been greatly appreciated. Special thanks go to Harriet Connolly, Alison Duncan, Matthew Dziennik, Eisa Esfajari, Katherine Nicolai, Tawny Paul, Brian Wallace and, above all, to Hisashi Kuboyama. This thesis is dedicated to my family, Alleyne, Max, Susan, Rebecca, Michael and Ethan. The patience and encouragement of the adults with what must have seemed to them like an endless labour was crucial to its completion. iv LIST OF FIGURES AND TABLES Table 1.

The rhythms of daily, and seasonal, life were bound up with a relationship with the sky, which was looked to as a source of causation, meaning and guidance. Astrology was an important means of attempting to understand the sky's significance 1 and 'probably the most ambitious attempt ever made to reduce the baffling diversity of human affairs to some sort of intelligible order'. 2 While by no means everyone used it, or was necessarily interested, there was scarcely an aspect of contemporary life that astrology did not touch, and all sectors of society had access or recourse to it, in some form or another, from the elite and highly educated to the humblest of farm labourers. Its imagery permeated literature 3 and practical activities, and speculative matters were conducted according to its directives. 4 Those engaged in farming, gardening, arboriculture and animal husbandry looked to it to find the best times for sowing and for reaping, for pruning, for gelding, for breeding and for shearing. As William Ramesay wrote 1 The literature on astrology is extensive and references will be made to specialised areas of this in the chapters that follow. Two accounts of astrology in early modern England remain unsurpassed: Keith Thomas, Religion and the Decline of Magic (Harmondsworth, 1973), pp. 336–458; Bernard Capp, Astrology and the Popular Press: English Almanacs 1500-1800 (London, 1979). 2 Thomas, Religion , p. 340. 3 J.

However, evidence to the contrary suggests that judicial astrology not only continued but actually expanded during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. During this time period, judicial astrologers accomplished this by appropriating contemporary science and mathematics.

  • Georg Calixtus and the Humanist Tradition
    Georg Calixtus and the Humanist Tradition Christian Thorsten Callisen Diploma of Financial Services (Financial Planning) Finsia Postgraduate Certificate in Business USQ Research Students Centre Division of Research & Commercialisation Queensland University of Technology Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Research) 2010 i Keywords Georg Calixtus (1586–1656); Isaac Casaubon (1559–1614); humanism; ars historica; consensus antiquitatis; calixtine theology; irenicism; Renaissance; history of ideas; early modern Europe ii Abstract Georg Calixtus (1586–1656) was a Lutheran theologian, prominent in the German lands during the first half of the seventeenth century. Existing research focuses on Calixtus‘ contributions to religious and theological debates, particularly in regard to his role in the Syncretistic Controversy of the latter half of the seventeenth century, and in regard to his unique position as a Lutheran who aspired to reunion between the different Christian confessions. This thesis problematises this focus on Calixtus by theologians and ecclesiastical historians, and argues that the genesis and transmission of his ideas cannot be fully appreciated without considering his relationship with the broader intellectual milieu of early modern Europe. It does this by exploring Calixtus‘ interaction with the humanist tradition, in particular by reconsidering his relationship with Isaac Casaubon (1559–1614), and by exploring his work in light of intellectual movements that were taking place outside the Christian church. In so doing, this thesis argues that Calixtus made contributions to early modern thought that have been overlooked in the existing literature. It also becomes apparent that much research remains to be done to gain a more accurate picture of his place in the early modern intellectual landscape, and of his legacy to later generations of scholars.

  • A Farm in the Sunlight
    National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS Dutch Paintings of the Seventeenth Century Meindert Hobbema Dutch, 1638 - 1709 A Farm in the Sunlight 1668 oil on canvas overall: 81.9 x 66.4 cm (32 1/4 x 26 1/8 in.) Inscription: lower right, remnants of a signature and date: ..bbema .668 Andrew W. Mellon Collection 1937.1.60 ENTRY This rural landscape scene has long been esteemed as one of Hobbema’s finest paintings. In 1890 Michel described it as one of the artist’s most remarkable works and Bode, in the translation of his 1910 catalog, termed it “a masterpiece with which few can compare.”[1] Its distinguished provenance dates back to the end of the eighteenth century. From its earliest appearance in the literature, it formed a pendant to Hobbema’s famous painting of a watermill, now in the Louvre [fig. 1].[2] The two works were separated at the Nieuwenhuys sale in 1833. As in other instances where pendant relationships in Hobbema’s work seems to exist, no irrefutable proof exists that these works were originally intended to be hung together, although compositional and stylistic similarities reinforce the historical evidence. In both paintings the focus of the composition is the sunlit farm buildings in the middle ground. The shaded large trees that occupy the foreground have long, flowing trunks surmounted by an open structure of branches and foliage. Their dark brownish green tones act as a foil to the yellow glow of the sunlit distance. Above all, the vertical formats of the paintings, rare among Hobbema’s works, argue for the hypothesis that they were pendants.

    MAX-PLANCK-INSTITUT FÜR WISSENSCHAFTSGESCHICHTE Max Planck Institute for the History of Science 2011 PREPRINT 417 Pietro Daniel Omodeo Sixteenth Century Professors of Mathematics at the German University of Helmstedt A Case Study on Renaissance Scholarly Work and Networks SIXTEENTH CENTURY PROFESSORS OF MATHEMATICS AT THE GERMAN UNIVERSITY OF HELMSTEDT A Case Study on Renaissance Scholarly Work and Networks Pietro Daniel Omodeo This paper investigates the research activity and the teaching of the professors of mathematics at the University of Helmstedt in the sixteenth century as well as their academic collaboration in Germany and abroad.1 It moreover aims to evaluate the meaning of their work and networks for the development of early modern science, in particular astronomy. In order to obtain this overview, I (1.) briefly introduce the University of Helmstedt in its specificity, focusing on the chairs of mathematics. (2.) I consider in detail who the professors were who held the chairs of mathematics, what their education, scientific activity, publications and teaching were, and who the scholars were with whom they collaborated. Finally, (3.) I provide an outline of the academic network of Helmstedt mathematicians. This case study is part of a wider project on the mathematical research and teaching in early modern German universities and on the (national and international) networks of mathematicians (or scholars of disciplines related to mathematics, like cosmology, physics and natural philosophy). A preliminary note on the sources of this overview Documents concerning professors at the University of Helmstedt are preserved in the archive Niedersächsisches Staatsarchiv Wolfenbüttel under the signature 37 Alt. Further documents relative to academic curricula and lectures (the so-called ordines lectionum) are preserved partly in the Herzog August Library of Wolfenbüttel and partly in the Hauptstaatsarchiv of Hannover.

  • Teaching Natural Philosophy and Mathematics at Oxford and Cambridge 1500 – 1570
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo Teaching Natural Philosophy and Mathematics at Oxford and Cambridge 1500 – 1570 James Hannam Pembroke College, University of Cambridge This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing that is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text. The syllabus in natural philosophy and mathematics was radically changed in the course of the sixteenth century with new subjects, textbooks and methods introduced. Education became more practical and less dependent on medieval antecedents. Printing technology improved textbooks and made it possible to replace them with newer versions. Following sweeping syllabus reform around 1500, the Cambridge Master of Arts course was heavily slanted towards humanism. The old scholastic textbooks were rejected and replaced with modern authors. The purpose of natural philosophy was explicitly to illuminate the providential work of the creator, especially through natural history (a newly developing subject in the sixteenth century thanks to newly translated and promulgated Greek texts) where examples of God’s work were there for all to see. Oxford remained wedded to scholastic texts although the trivium was reformed along humanistic lines. Cromwell’s visitors in 1535 outlawed scholasticism by decree but gave little indication of the alternative (their white list stipulating only Aristotle). The solution adopted by the Oxford masters was to import the Cambridge syllabus and textbooks wholesale. When the evangelical regime of Edward VI reformed the universities in 1549, the humanist natural philosophy syllabus was adjudged appropriate, especially those parts promoted by Philip Melanchthon at the University of Wittenberg.

  • Post-Reformation Trends Toward Ecumenicity 9 Would Seek to Provide for a Practical Demonstration of Its Essential Unity
    Post-Reformation Trends Towards Ecumenicity Howard F. Shipps* The Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century was not intended to be a divisive force within the community of Christians. Its real aim was to purify rather than to divide. The most repre sentative leaders of the movement repeatedly demonstrated their desire for unity within the church universal. As John T. McNeill has recently affirmed, The Reformation was a revolt, not against the principle of unity and catholicity, but against the privileged and oppressive monarch of Rome� an uprising not merely of national, but of catholic feeling, against what had become a localized and overcentralized imperialism in Chris tianity, which made true catholicity impossible.^ Luther asserted his belief in "one Holy Catholic Church" when he formulated his Larger Catechism and described the nature of such a church as follows: I believe that there is upon earth a holy congregation and communion of pure saints ruled under one Head, Christ, called together by the Holy Spirit in one faith, in the same mind and understanding, furnished with multiple gifts yet one in love and in all respects harmonious, without sects or schisms.'^ Likewise as late as 1530, during the constitution of the Augs burg Confession which was being formulated by Luther and Melanc- thon, one clearly sees the irenic spirit which breathed within this theological instrument. It was marked by a continuing desire for reconciliation with Rome. Its tone was moderate, and it sought to find a common source of truth in the fathers and the Scriptures which might prove acceptable to Rome as well as the followers of Luther.
