Exploiting all resources of contemporary astrological science, Bate conducts in his \u003ci\u003eNativitas\u003c\/i\u003e a profound self-analysis, revealing the peculiarities of his character and personality at a crucial moment of his life (1280). The result is an extraordinarily detailed and penetrating attempt to decode the fate of one's own life and its idiosyncrasies. \u003ci\u003eThe Astrological Autobiography of a Medieval Philosopher\u003c\/i\u003e offers the first critical edition of Bate's \u003ci\u003eNativitas\u003c\/i\u003e. An extensive introduction presents Bate's life and work and sheds new light on the reception and use of Greek, Latin, Arabic, and Hebrew texts among scholars in Paris at the end of the 13th century. The book thus provides a major new resource for scholars working on medieval science, autobiography, and notions of personhood and individuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Vanden Broecke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Leuven University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Ancient and Medieval Philosophy-Series 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462701557","brand":"Leuven University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42711391469705,"sku":"9789462701557","price":112.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_8fb235c9-faa7-47de-a72e-469b89812fce.jpg?v=1719568706","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-astrological-autobiography-of-a-medieval-philosopher-henry-bates-nativitas-1280-81-9789462701557","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
