| Iatromathematica (medical astrology) in Late Antiquity and the Byzantine period |
| Byzantium inherited the rich astrological tradition of Late Antiquity, especially that of Alexandria, where even the 6th century AD., astrology was taught in philosophical schools. The great number of Byzantine astrological MSS, which preserve works of famous authors and many anonymous treatises, shows the survival and continuity of astrology in Byzantinium. Through medical astrology physicians can better understand the temperament of an individual man and find out about his bodily constitution and psychic faculties, his inclination to chronic and accute diseases, the possibilities of curable or incurable cases, and finally the periods of major danger for his health. They can also conjecture about the evolution of a disease, choose a favourable time for an operation, or initiate a cure. |
