Robert Schmidt trans. and Robert Hand ed., The Astrological Record of the Early Sages in Greek
Definition
Robert Schmidt trans. and Robert Hand ed., The Astrological Record of the Early Sages in Greek (Project Hindsight Greek Track, Vol. X) is an astrological source represented here through cited material on inceptions, angles, associations, attribution, and bounds.
What this work covers
The cited material covers inceptions, angles, associations, attribution, and bounds.
The Critodemus fragment gives a complete twelve-sign Egyptian-bounds table with five unequal planetary intervals in each sign and adds a distinct delineation to every interval; the edition warns that this attribution and bound system differ from another Critodemus tradition reported by Valens.
In the Erasistratos fragment, the Ascendant serves as the entrance or orientation and the Moon describes the location of a lost object: angular placement distinguishes visible, elevated, withdrawn, or underground places, while solar or Martian testimony further qualifies visibility or enclosure.
The paired Hermetic inception texts measure the Sun-to-Moon arc, divide it by six, and project the remainder sign by sign from the Moon; the form of the terminal sign and benefic or malefic witnesses then classify the matter, with wording differences preserved between the main and variant texts.
Scope and limitations
