Astrologie
edited by D. Praet and B. Bakhouche
This volume brings together all the articles Franz Cumont (1868-1947) wrote on the history of ancient astrology. It is part of the 7 volume Scripta Minora-collection in the Bibliotheca Cumontiana, the edition of the collected works of the famous Belgian classicist and historian of religions. The volume also contains a critical historiographical introduction by the specialist on ancient astrology, Beatrice Bakhouche, which analyzes the methodology used by Cumont in the context of the scholarship of his own days. The general introduction also sets Cumont’s approach to ancient astrology against the way scholars now approach this important current of ancient thought. Danny Praet further analyzes the Belgian ideological context in which Cumont wrote on the interaction between science and religion. The volume offers a thematic index, and an index of ancient and modern authors.
