This text by (Ps.)Eratosthenes translated in this publication portrays a group of episodes not limited to 12 constellations. Nor does it discuss deterministic influences / constraints on daily, monthly, or annual contingencies and behaviours of the earthly creatures of the Alexandrian Era. Although it is not an astronomical treatise and the style has a simple and succinct character, much remains to be decoded in just over forty episodes. Of astronomical connotations, it presents itself as an approximation exercise, providing the receiver with explanations of something visible but not attainable - the constellations, through images of common knowledge, rooted in scenes and mythological aspects. In addition, the topoi are vast, such as philia, betrayal, anger, justice, crime and punishment, reverence, eponymia, etiology, metamorphosis, mythology.

People have interpreted the numeration of the years of their life since Antiquity (when, for example, the Emperor Augustus did so). Ancient medical theories thus maintained that matter is renewed every seven or nine years. The product of these two numbers is sixty-three, and the sixty-third year of a person’s life – the great climacteric – was believed to be very critical. Max Engammare presents the history of the anxiety surrounding this year that came back into force during the Renaissance, as early as Petrarch but especially with Marsilio Ficino. This book touches on most of the great names of the age, from Philipp Melanchthon and Theodore de Bèze to Rabelais. The question of the sixty-third king of France, Henri III or Henri IV, was also discussed by members of the League. The goal is to achieve an understanding of the arithmetic of these ancient fears that were reborn at the end of the 1400s and which have not in fact completely disappeared today—a proof of this is Sigmund Freud and the curse of 27 listing all the famous artists dead at the age of 27 (three times nine).

"D’Auguste (63 av. J.-C.) à Constantin (272-337) les empereurs romains ont constamment cherché à légitimer leur pouvoir ambigu par une sorte de consécration surnaturelle. D’Apollon, saint patron d’Octave et des néo-pythagoriciens, au Soleil Invincible d’Aurélien et même au Comes radié de Constantin, la continuité est remarquable. Un pouvoir qui a quelque chose de monstrueux et d’illégal (du moins par rapport aux institutions traditionnelles et au droit humain) éprouve toujours le besoin de se justifier au plan du droit divin. La religion impériale, avec ses allégories politiques et ses rites d’apothéose, n’est pas seule en cause dans cette question qui s’avère de première importance, dès qu’on veut comprendre le comportement des Césars, des bons comme des mauvais, des fous comme des sages. En sept chapitres riches de suggestions et d’hypothèses fécondes, même si l’on ne s’y rallie pas d’emblée, M. Jean Gagé montre que des princes — héritiers ou régnants — ont demandé à la magie et à l’astrologie l’auréole prestigieuse d’une vraie basiléia. Plusieurs sont allés quérir en Orient ce prestige du souverain marqué par les dieux, fût-ce à la faveur d'une mission diplomatique." (Robert Turcan, de l'Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres).

Printing and Prophecy: Prognostication and Media Change 1450-1550 examines prognostic traditions and late medieval prophetic texts in the first century of printing and their effect on the new medium of print. The many prophetic and prognostic works that followed Europe's earliest known printed book---not the Gutenberg Bible, but the Sibyl's Prophecy, printed by Gutenberg two years earlier and known today only from a single page---over the next century were perennial best sellers for many printers, and they provide the modern observer with a unique way to study the history and inner workings of the print medium. The very popularity of these works, often published as affordable booklets, raised fears of social unrest. Printers therefore had to meet customer demand while at the same time channeling readers' reactions along approved paths.
