[ASTROLOGY]: A scarce manuscript astrological chart (or horoscope), one page, 4to, n.p. (Western Europe, most likely northern Italy or France; the figure 44 within the chart indicating 44th parallel north), n.d. (c. 1626). The partially intaglio printed document, completed in manuscript by a professional astrologer, is divided into three sections of tables and boxes and bears the date 19th May 1626 to the smallest of the inner boxes (although this is not necessarily an indication of the actual date of the manuscript, which may have been prepared at a different time, the date given sadly without an indication as to whether it refers to an individual, or an event). To the upper edge of the chart there is a table with the indication of the motion of the planets: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury, as well as the Sun (between Mercury and Venus) and the Moon (indicated after Mercury), the motion of the planets referring to the precise time indicated in the horoscope, and to the correspondences between the positions of the planets and the zodiacal constellations. The second section features a central box, divided into a square and twelve triangles, indicating the month and year of the horoscope as well as the D[ie] 19, H[ora] 9, and M[inutum] 55, followed by the word hor[oscope], and in the next line the indication of the date referring to the astrological calendar, D[ie] 14, H[ora] 17, M[inutum] 16 P[ost] M[erdiem]. To the sides of the central box are indications of Latitude and Antiscia (the shadow of the zodiac sign). The triangles, starting from the first one next to the left side of the square and proceeding anticlockwise, are related to the twelve houses, Vita (Aries), Lucrum (Taurus), Fratres (Gemini), Genitor (Cancer), Nati (Leo), Valetudo (Virgo), Uxor (Libra), Mors (Scorpio), Iter (Sagittarius), Regnum (Capricorn), Benefacta (Aquarius) and Carcer (Pisces). The final section of the horoscope features an abacus where the symbols of the zodiac and planets are crossed with the signs of the zodiac, and it contains astrological symbols of opposition, sextiles, quadratures, conjunctions etc. Manuscript material relating to astrology in the 17th century seldom apppears at auction. Some light overall staining and minor age wear and a few tears to the borders (neatly and professionally restored). G
