Synopsis: This is the editio princeps, based on new papyrus discoveries, of two Greek poems on astrology by an author, whose notorious collaboration with Simon Maqus is recounted in the novel "Clementina". A versified handbook of horoscopes and introduction to the sciences, it is the only Greek astrological poem to have been written in elegiac couplets, and is a new accession to the corpus of didactic poetry in the tradition of Aratus' "Phaenomena", Manilius' "Astronomica", and Ovid's "Fasti". The edition offers a collection and complete re-edition of the remains of the poem's original four books: published and unpublished papyri, plus fragments and testimonia preserved in the secondary material. Also included are a preface, bibliography and indexes.
