Marcus Manilius From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Marcus Manilius (fl. 1st century AD) was a Roman poet astrologer , and author of a poem in five books called Astronomica The author is neither quoted nor mentioned by any ancient writer. Even his name is uncertain, but it was probably Marcus Manilius; in the earlier books the author is anonymous, the later give Manilius, Manlius, Mallius. The poem itself implies that the writer lived under Augustus or Tiberius , and that he was a citizen of and resident in Rome . According to Richard Bentley he was an Asiatic Greek; according to F. Jacob an African. His work is one of great learning; he had studied his subject in the best writers, and generally represents the most advanced views of the ancients on astronomy (or rather astrology Manilius frequently imitates Lucretius , whom he resembles in earnestness and originality and in the power of enlivening the dry bones of his subject. Although his diction presents some peculiarities, the style is metrically correct. Julius Firmicus Maternus , who wrote in the time of Constantine , exhibits so many points of resemblance with the work of Manilius that he must either have used him or have followed some work that Manilius also followed. As Firmicus says that hardly any Roman except 'Caesar' (by whom he almost certainly means

2. Manilius: Poetry & Science After Vergil My earliest acquaintance with manilius came through a text only vaguely classical E.C. Bentley s parody of Dorothy L. Sayers Gaudy Night. http://ablemedia.com/ctcweb/showcase/pendergraft1.html

by Mary Pendergraft, Wake Forest University My earliest acquaintance with Manilius came through a text only vaguely classical: E.C. Bentley's parody of Dorothy L. Sayers' Gaudy Night. In this short story Lord Peter Wimsey visits Oxford to investigate a murder; strolling by night through the quad he encounters a young man sitting on "an obese volume on the gravel." With alacrity and courtesy the student offers the detective his seat: "Won't you sit down, sir? Not enough room for two, I'm afraid, even on Liddell and Scott." He explains that after the general rowdiness following the Aquinas dinner, he had been… "just sitting here for rest and meditation. D'you ever meditate?" "Oh, often," said Wimseythe passage continues "What were you thinking of mediating upon this time?" "Housman's edition of Manilius," the young man answered, abstractedly removing his collar and tie. "Wonderful chapHousman, I mean; Manilius was rather a blister. The way Housman pastes the other commentators in the slats does your heart good. I was just concentrating on the way he kicks the stuffing out of Elias Stöberlovely!" [E. C. Bentley, “Greedy Night,” reprinted from , ed. James Sandoe (NY 1972).]

Home Ordering Search/Browse Contact ... HUP Astronomica Manilius Translator G. P. Goold Marcus Manilius, who lived in the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius, is the author of the earliest treatise on astrology we possess. His Astronomica, a Latin didactic poem in five books, begins with an account of celestial phenomena, and then proceeds to treat of the signs of the zodiac and the twelve temples; there follow instructions for calculating the horoscoping degree, and details of chronocrators, decans, injurious degrees, zodiacal geography, paranatellonta, and other technical matters. Besides exhibiting great virtuosity in rendering mathematical tables and diagrams in verse form, the poet writes with some passion about his Stoic beliefs and shows much wit and humour in his character sketches of persons born under particular stars. Perhaps taking a lead from Virgil in his Georgics, Manilius abandons the proportions of his last book to narrate the story of Perseus and Andromeda at considerable length. In spite of its undoubted elegance, the

Gaius Manilius From LoveToKnow 1911 GAIUS MANILIUS Roman tribune of the people in 66 B.C. At the beginning of his year of office (Dec. 67) he succeeded in getting a law passed ( de libertinorum suffragiis ), which gave freedmen the privilege of voting together with those who had manumitted them, that is, in the same tribe as their patroni; this law, however, was almost immediately declared null and void by the senate . Both parties in the state were offended by the law, and Manilius endeavoured to secure the support of Pompey by proposing to confer upon him the command of the war against Mithradates with unlimited power (see Pompey ). The proposal was supported by Cicero in his speech, Pro lege Manilia, and carried almost unanimously. Manilius was later accused by the aristocratical party on some unknown charge and defended by Cicero. He was probably convicted, but nothing further is heard of him. See Cicero's speech; Dio Cassius xxxvi. 25-27; Plutarch Pompey, 30; Vell. Pat. ii. 33; art. ROME Manilius Daniele Manin Retrieved from " http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/Gaius_Manilius

Manilius, Augustus, Tiberius, Capricornus, and Libra 'The date of the poem has been canvassed with merciless prolixity for the last four-and-twenty years, but the pertinent facts are few.' So I wrote in 1903 on p. lxix of my edition of the first book of Manilius; and in two octavo pages and a half I collected all those facts, said all that I could find to say on both sides of the questions in dispute, and drew the conclusion that books  I and  II were written under Augustus and book  IV under Tiberius. Ten years have passed, and the prolixity has continued, but the prolix have added no pertinent fact to those which I collected: some of them have even subtracted one, by suppressing the numismatic evidence, which I duly recorded, that Tiberius had Libra for his star. The occasion of the present paper is not any of these disputations, but some remarks on Man.Â

19. Hellenistic Astrology: Ptolemy, Valens, Hephaistion, Manilius, Paulus, Dorotheus ONLINE TEXT (LATIN) OF manilius manilius was a 1st Century C.E. Latin writing astrologer who authored a long cosmological poem. Compared to other writers http://www.astro-guide.com/hastro.htm

What is Hellenistic Astrology? Hellenistic astrology was the practice of prediction by various calculations and observations involving astral phenomenon. Rooted in Middle Platonic, Stoic and Neopythagorean philosophy, astrology was dispersed through the Greek-speaking world. As a significantly influential world-view (or involved in a variety of world-views), astrology was an issue for Hellenistic and late antiquity thinkers including Carneades, Cicero, Plutarch, Plotinus, Origen, Porphyry, Iamblicus, and the anonymous writers of Hermetic and Gnostic works. For more, please see my article, HELLENISTIC ASTROLOGY , at the INTERNET ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PHILOSOPHY On This Site ASTRO-GEOGRAPHY TABLE Includes the correspondences of regions the inhabited world to signs of the zodiac found in Teucer of Babylon, Paulus Alexandrinus, Manilius, Ptolemy, and Hephaistio of Thebes.

Ancient Library Bookshelf Smith, Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology v. 2, page 920 Scanned text contains errors. MANILIUS On the merits of Manilius as a poet we can say little. Occasionally, especially in the introductions and digressions, we discern both power of language and elevation of thought, but for the most part the attempts to embellish the dull details of his art are violent and ungraceful, affording a most remarkable contrast to the majesty with which Lucretius from his taste we must do justice to his learning. He seems to have consulted the best authorities, and to have adopted their most sagacious views. Blunders have, indeed, been detected here and there, in the statements regarding the relative position of the constellations, but some of the opinions which he advocates on sidereal astronomy are anticipations of the brightest discoveries of modern times. Thus, not only is the popular belief that the fixed stars were all arranged on the surface of a concave vault, at equal distances from the centre of the earth, unhesitatingly rejected, but it is affirmed that they are of the same nature with the sun, and that each belongs to a separate system. The appearance exhibited by the milky way is in like manner correctly explained as arising
