"Astronomica" is the earliest treatise we have on astrology. Here Manilius provides an account of celestial phenomena and the signs of the Zodiac. He also gives witty character sketches of persons born under particular constellations. Explanatory notes, 24 drawings, and two star charts are included.
Perhaps the most ingenious...of Latin poets [is here translated by] a distinguished Latinist, deeply versed in celestial lore...[Manilius] is faithfully conveyed in a style both lucid and elegant.--D. R. Shackleton Bailey "Classical Philology "
