Show moreper Philippum Iollaimun Blereium, cum scholijs eiusdem. Early work on astrological meteorology by the French astrologer Firmin de Belleval from the first half of the 14th century. Here in the first edition edited by Philip Jollain of Blery after the very rare "editio princeps" printed in 1485 by Erhard Ratdolt in Venice, originally published anonymously, but generally attributed to Firmin. Although the author is indebted to the writings of Ptolemy, Pliny, Johannes Hispalensis, Albertus Magnus and many Arabic authors such as Al-Kindi, Abu Ma'shar, Ali ibn Ridwan, Abraham ben Ezra, he drew also largely on contemporary popular knowledge and oral traditions. - The prognostication is the only of Firmin's treatises that was ever printed. In essence it is a treatise on astrological meteorology and it is one of the first meteorological works ever published. Divided into 7 chapters, the book deals respectively with the nature of different parts of the sky, the stars, seasons and climates; global climate changes due to great conjunctions, eclipses and movements of the sun; similar changes due to the respective movements of the sun and the moon; particular judgments arising from the same sets of causes; and predictions concerning rain and weather forecasting in general. - A few minor spots, otherwise a very good copy with ample margins. First published anonymously in 1485 with title "Opusculü repertorii pronosticon in mutationes aeris." Main Heritage Shelves General QB23 .F57 1539 Book Item-ID: i1681745x BIB-ID: 1507125 Show less
