Description: This volume brings together all the articles Franz Cumont (1868-1947) wrote on the history of ancient astrology. It is part of the 7 volume 'Scripta Minora'-collection in the 'Bibliotheca Cumontiana', the edition of the collected works of the famous Belgian classicist and historian of religions. The volume also contains a critical historiographical introduction by the specialist on ancient astrology, Béatrice Bakhouche, which analyzes the methodology used by Cumont in the context of the scholarship of his own days. The general introduction also sets Cumont's approach to ancient astrology against the way scholars now approach this important current of ancient thought. Danny Praet further analyzes the Belgian ideological context in which Cumont wrote on the interaction between science and religion. The volume offers a thematic index, and an index of ancient and modern authors.

Notes: 'Ce volume réunit tous les articles que Franz Cumont (1868-1947) a écrits sur l'histoire de l'astrologie antique. C'est une partie des sept volumes des Scripta Minora, sous-série dans la Bibliotheca cumontiana, l'édition des œuvres choisies du fameux antiquisant et historien des religions belge. Le volume contient aussi une introduction historiographique critique par la spécialiste de l'astrologie antique, Béatrice Bakhouche, qui analyse la méthodologie utilisée par Cumont dans le contexte scientifique de son temps. L'introduction générale oppose également le traitement de l'astrologie antique par Cumont à la façon dont les savants abordent aujourd'hui cet important courant de pensée. Danny Praet analyse aussi le contexte idéologique dans lequel Cumont a traité de l'interaction entre science et religion. Le volume contient un index thématique, ainsi que des auteurs anciens et modernes.'- back cover.
