Warning : Most of the referenced works are in Latin or German. British and French libraries are not providing sufficient and representative free astrological materials: they have been confiscated and are barely accessible. There is an "alliance" between British mercantilism (which insists that everything must be paid for : see for example the Eebo unavailable corpus that even most of University libraries can not afford) and French obscurantism (which provides only anti-astrological secondary works). This alliance is hostile to the knowledge of astrology, and promotes negation of the importance of astrology in European cultural history, and possibly the falsification and rewriting of its history in favour of ideological dominant imperatives. These imperatives are first Christian, followed by the scientistic, and are prevailing for centuries (see my Manifesto).

* On astrology, see mainly vol. 2 (p.267-390) and vol. 8 (p.347-501). The author has chosen to cite anti-astrologers as preferable to astrologers. According to him, astrology's only purpose would have been to prepare the ground for the theory of gravitation (in vol. 8, 1958, p.500-501).

5. Chinese Astrology
Léopold de Saussure

Les origines de l'Astronomie chinoise
T'oung pao, Leiden, Brill, 1907-1922 ; Paris, Maisonneuve 1930

1922

1930
A colossal work : the first modern complete essay on history of Chinese astronomy and astrology, initially published in the journal T'oung pao (series 2, vols 8-10-11-12-14-15-20-21) between 1907 and 1922 (parts A to G1 and G2 to I). Incomplete series on Gallica and on Internet Archive : the missing chapter, Le cycle de Jupiter (I. La planète annuaire, ...), can be downloaded on CURA. Saussure shows that the ancient cosmogonical system of China was a metaphysical construction instigated by astrologers, "la plus ancienne conception unitaire, synthétique et déterministe du monde".

Garth Chivalle Carpenter Chaucer's Solar Pageant: an Astrological Reading of the Canterbury Tales
Philosophy D. TH., Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, 1997
1997 * Chaucer (1343–1400) would have written his Tales for his ten-year old son, as an illustrated didactical manual for understanding the principles of astrology. "Chaucer makes two rounds of the zodiac, starting with the Knight's Tale aligned with Aries (the head), replete with pagan astrological practices, completing the sequence with the Parson's Tale, aligned with Pisces (the feet), in which the pilgrims are exhorted to save their souls by repentance."

Saturn-Jupiter great conjunctions provide reliable dates to uncertain timing of Biblical chronology and corroborate the predictions of the prophets. Containing the famous prediction of the advent of Antichrist in the year 1789. "From d'Ailly's example, astrology emerges as an integral part of the rational view of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries." (Smoller 1994).

Astrologia Gallica principiis & rationibus propriis stabilita

1661 The main astrological work, posthumous, of one of the leading French astrologers, professor of mathematics. An "anachronical" work in a country already anti-astrologically biased, subject to literary circles and ideological clans and corporations.
Thorndike's review of Morin's work can be found here (vol. 7, 1958, pp.477-491). Books 13 to 19 and 21 to 25 have been translated in English by James Herschel Holden (Tempe (AZ), American Federation of Astrologers).
