The Speculum Astronomiae and Its Enigma

Astrology, Theology and Science in Albertus Magnus and His Contemporaries

by Paola Zambelli

A major study of the thirteenth-century Speculum astronomiae, with the Latin text and an English translation. Zambelli argues that Albertus Magnus wrote the treatise and places its defence of astrology and its classification of astrological images within the scholastic debates of his time.
