{"product_id":"9781916625112","title":"Morin's Book 21 : Of the Active Determination of the Celestial Bodies \u0026 the Passive Determination of Sublunary Things by Penelope Sitter","description":"With this publication of Book 21, we at last have a definitive English-language translation of the crown jewel of Astrologia Gallica, Jean-Baptiste Morin de Villefranche's 26-volume magnum opus. In this one slim volume, Morin, a 17th c. French astrologer, physician, and mathematician, sets out the rules for a rational approach to horoscope interpretation that he summarizes in two compact phrases that encapsulate his entire tradition: \"Of the Active Determination of the Celestial Bodies and the Passive Determination of Sublunary Things.\"Beginning in 1950, Zoltan Mason made Morin's approach available to English-speaking students for many years through the classes he held in his New York City bookstore. Three abridged English-language paraphrases of Book 21 were published in the early to mid-1970s. But not until this translation from Penelope Sitter has a full and reliable rendering of the centrally important volume of Morin's masterwork been available in English. This translation of Book 21 brings Morin's voice to life, and provides comprehensive endnotes, a detailed subject index, and an index of persons. It will be the authoritative and complete text in English for contemporary students and a foundation for future university level programs on our perennial art.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56313190351221,"sku":"9781916625112","price":21.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781916625112.jpg?v=1762825868","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781916625112","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
