Apianus 2 / Carlos Macia., 1990

 Item
Identifier: CC-06434-6552
Scope and Contents

Petrus Apianus was a German, Renaissance astronomer and astrologer born 1501. Apianus 2 is based upon his book "Astronomicum Caesarem," 1540. It mixed mathematics, geography, astronony, astrology, cartography and theology in order to prepare horoscopes and predictions. Its validity was criticised by Kepler, which he considered "nothing more than what exists in the mind of man." Macia made this book in homage to the imagination which is "free to invent as many universes as there are created." This work was exhibited at the Agnes Scott College Gallery, Atlanta, January 2001. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
