Marcus Manilius From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Marcus Manilius (fl. 1st century AD) was a Roman poet astrologer , and author of a poem in five books called Astronomica The author is neither quoted nor mentioned by any ancient writer. Even his name is uncertain, but it was probably Marcus Manilius; in the earlier books the author is anonymous, the later give Manilius, Manlius, Mallius. The poem itself implies that the writer lived under Augustus or Tiberius , and that he was a citizen of and resident in Rome . According to Richard Bentley he was an Asiatic Greek; according to F. Jacob an African. His work is one of great learning; he had studied his subject in the best writers, and generally represents the most advanced views of the ancients on astronomy (or rather astrology Manilius frequently imitates Lucretius , whom he resembles in earnestness and originality and in the power of enlivening the dry bones of his subject. Although his diction presents some peculiarities, the style is metrically correct. Julius Firmicus Maternus , who wrote in the time of Constantine , exhibits so many points of resemblance with the work of Manilius that he must either have used him or have followed some work that Manilius also followed. As Firmicus says that hardly any Roman except 'Caesar' (by whom he almost certainly means

Home Ordering Search/Browse Contact ... HUP Astronomica Manilius Translator G. P. Goold Marcus Manilius, who lived in the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius, is the author of the earliest treatise on astrology we possess. His Astronomica, a Latin didactic poem in five books, begins with an account of celestial phenomena, and then proceeds to treat of the signs of the zodiac and the twelve temples; there follow instructions for calculating the horoscoping degree, and details of chronocrators, decans, injurious degrees, zodiacal geography, paranatellonta, and other technical matters. Besides exhibiting great virtuosity in rendering mathematical tables and diagrams in verse form, the poet writes with some passion about his Stoic beliefs and shows much wit and humour in his character sketches of persons born under particular stars. Perhaps taking a lead from Virgil in his Georgics, Manilius abandons the proportions of his last book to narrate the story of Perseus and Andromeda at considerable length. In spite of its undoubted elegance, the

by Mary Pendergraft, Wake Forest University My earliest acquaintance with Manilius came through a text only vaguely classical: E.C. Bentley's parody of Dorothy L. Sayers' Gaudy Night. In this short story Lord Peter Wimsey visits Oxford to investigate a murder; strolling by night through the quad he encounters a young man sitting on "an obese volume on the gravel." With alacrity and courtesy the student offers the detective his seat: "Won't you sit down, sir? Not enough room for two, I'm afraid, even on Liddell and Scott." He explains that after the general rowdiness following the Aquinas dinner, he had been… "just sitting here for rest and meditation. D'you ever meditate?" "Oh, often," said Wimseythe passage continues "What were you thinking of mediating upon this time?" "Housman's edition of Manilius," the young man answered, abstractedly removing his collar and tie. "Wonderful chapHousman, I mean; Manilius was rather a blister. The way Housman pastes the other commentators in the slats does your heart good. I was just concentrating on the way he kicks the stuffing out of Elias Stöberlovely!" [E. C. Bentley, “Greedy Night,” reprinted from , ed. James Sandoe (NY 1972).]

What is Hellenistic Astrology? Hellenistic astrology was the practice of prediction by various calculations and observations involving astral phenomenon. Rooted in Middle Platonic, Stoic and Neopythagorean philosophy, astrology was dispersed through the Greek-speaking world. As a significantly influential world-view (or involved in a variety of world-views), astrology was an issue for Hellenistic and late antiquity thinkers including Carneades, Cicero, Plutarch, Plotinus, Origen, Porphyry, Iamblicus, and the anonymous writers of Hermetic and Gnostic works.

M. MANILII ASTRONOMICON LIBER PRIMVS RECENSVIT ET ENARRAVIT A. E. HOVSMAN ACCEDVNT EMENDATIONES LIBRORVM II III IV LONDINII APVD GRANT RICHARDS MDCCCCIII The text of Manilius depends in the main upon four MSS. G, Gemblacensis, once of the monastery of Gembloux in Brabant, now 10012 in the public library of Brussels, assigned to the end of the 10th century or the beginning of the 11th, containing Manilius and Priscian's descriptio orbis. ... L, Lipsiensis, 1456 in the library of the university, of Leipsic, assigned to the middle of the 11th century. .... The two MSS G and L are bound into one class and parted from N and V by many marks of which it is enough to mention two the omission of certain verses and the position of others. .. The second family is derived from a MSS discovered north of the Alps by Poggio during the Council of Constance in the year 1416 or 1417. ... M, Matritensis, M 31 in the national library at Madrid, assigned to the early part of the 15th century.... V, Vossianus 390 (which Jacob chose to call Vossianus secundus and to denote by the clumsy sign V. 2.), 3 in the public library of Leyden, bearing the date 1470... II Manilius was first made known to the Italy of the renascence by Poggio's discovery of the MS whence M and V are derived. But copies of the other family soon found their way across the Alps; and the vulgar MSS from which the first editions were printed present a chance medley of the two elements, obscured by a cloud of additional errors and of conjectures mostly, false. A good example of the class is the Florentine codex Laurentianus.

This page has been carefully proofread and I believe it to be free of errors. If you find a mistake though, please let me know! Manilius, Augustus, Tiberius, Capricornus, and Libra 'The date of the poem has been canvassed with merciless prolixity for the last four-and-twenty years, but the pertinent facts are few.' So I wrote in 1903 on p. lxix of my edition of the first book of Manilius; and in two octavo pages and a half I collected all those facts, said all that I could find to say on both sides of the questions in dispute, and drew the conclusion that books  I and  II were written under Augustus and book  IV under Tiberius. Ten years have passed, and the prolixity has continued, but the prolix have added no pertinent fact to those which I collected: some of them have even subtracted one, by suppressing the numismatic evidence, which I duly recorded, that Tiberius had Libra for his star. The occasion of the present paper is not any of these disputations, but some remarks on Man.Â

Jahrhundert ) war ein r¶mischer Dichter, Astrologe und Autor eines Gedichts in f¼nf B¼chern, genannt Astronomica oder Astronomicon libri V Er wird als Person von den antiken Schriftstellern nie erw¤hnt oder zitiert, selbst sein Name hat lediglich eine gewisse Wahrscheinlichkeit; in den ¤lteren B¼chern ist der Autor anonym, die sp¤teren geben Manilius, Manlius und Mallius an. Das Gedicht l¤sst zudem vermuten, dass der Autor zur Zeit der Kaiser Augustus oder Tiberius lebte und ein B¼rger und Einwohner Roms war. Richard Bentley h¤lt ihn f¼r einen kleinasiatischen Griechen , F. Jacob f¼r einen nordafrikanischen. Sein Werk weist ihn als von groŸer Belesenheit aus, er hat sein Thema bei den besten Autoren studiert und repr¤sentiert zur Astronomie (oder eher Astrologie) die seinerzeit aktuelle Sichtweise der Zeit. Manilius imitiert h¤ufig seinen Vorg¤nger in der Lehrdichtung Lucretius , dem er in Ernsthaftigkeit, Originalit¤t und der Kraft, seinem trockenen Thema eine lebendige Wirkung zu verleihen, ¤hnelt. Obwohl seine Diktion einige Eigenheiten enth¤lt, ist sein Stil metrisch korrekt. Firmicus , der zur Zeit des Kaisers Konstantin I.
