In this one slim volume, Morin, a 17\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e c. French astrologer, physician, and mathematician, sets out the rules for a rational approach to horoscope interpretation that he summarizes in two compact phrases that encapsulate his entire tradition: \"Of the Active Determination of the Celestial Bodies \u0026amp; the Passive Determination of Sublunary Things.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeginning in 1950, Zoltan Mason made Morin's approach available to English-speaking students for many years through the classes he held in his New York City bookstore. Three abridged English-language paraphrases of Book 21 were published in the early to mid-1970s. But not until this translation from Penelope Sitter has a full and reliable rendering of the centrally important volume of Morin's masterwork been available in English. This translation of Book 21 brings Morin's voice to life, and provides comprehensive endnotes, a detailed subject index, and an index of persons. It will be the authoritative and complete text in English for contemporary students and a foundation for future university level programs on our perennial art. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 244\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 13, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51748518363424,"sku":"9781916625112","price":30.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/63577989541f3451e65b40bbb8dc26fa.webp?v=1779911048","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/morins-book-21-of-the-active-determination-of-the-celestial-bodies-the-passive-determination-of-sublunary-things-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
