(Liber astrologiae)
Sloane MS 3983
Mid-14th century
For the very first time the astral mythology
of the great civilizations of Egypt, Greece,
Persia and India is condensed into a single
lavishly illustrated book. The intellectual
voyage unfolding upon its pages evokes
the migration of the astrological beliefs
of Antiquity through the Arab world into
medieval Western Europe.
