EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a zodiacal diagram from a Latin edition of Ptolemy's Almagest, dating back to 1528. The Almagest, written by the ancient Greek astronomer Claudius Ptolemy during the second century, is considered one of the most influential works in the history of astronomy and astrology. In this intricate diagram, we witness a beautifully crafted wheel-like structure that represents the celestial sphere. The circle is divided into twelve sections, each corresponding to one of the zodiac signs: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius Capricornus (Capricorn), Aquarius (Water Bearer), and Pisces. The Latin text accompanying this illustration adds an air of mystery and intrigue to this Renaissance-era artifact. It serves as a reminder of how knowledge was preserved and disseminated during that time period. As we delve into this piece further with its ptolemaic influences and occult undertones; it becomes evident that astrology played a significant role in understanding celestial movements and their impact on human lives. This representation not only reflects ancient beliefs but also highlights humanity's perpetual fascination with unlocking the secrets hidden within our universe. Overall, this photograph captures both historical significance and artistic beauty - making it an ideal addition for any enthusiast or collector seeking to explore the rich tapestry woven between science and spirituality throughout centuries past.
