What we know about Greek astronomy is dominated by Ptolemy's \"Almagest\" (written c. 140 A.D.) \u0026amp; closely related works like Theon's \"Handy Tables\" (end of 4th C.) but we have only very little info. about the practice of computing the positions of sun, moon, \u0026amp; planets during any period of antiquity. Now, the Greek horoscopes are available for study as a group which could be expected to reflect the current techniques of Greek astronomy. About 60 horoscopes from the first 5 centuries of our era have been published since Young (1828) \u0026amp; Champollion-Figeac (1840) in the papyrological literature, which comprises 18,000 texts. This vol. includes all horoscopes from this widely scattered material \u0026amp; a few unpublished pieces.
