Rhetorius the Egyptian Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I thought that the translations were pretty good and easy to follow. Bear in mind, this is ancient event-oriented astrology. Buy the Arkana Dictionary of Astrology by Fred Gettings as a companion to this book. Some of the foot notes explain the less well known astrological terms. It is presumed that the original text was written sometime in the 7th century, but the author is not sure. All in all a treasure to have, especially if you are interested in classical astrology and/or the ancient history of astrology.
