โœฆ Synopsis

Among the many artifacts excavated from King Ashurbanipals library in Nineveh were tablets documenting the development of Mesopotamian astrology, now recognized as the earliest astrological science. Best-selling author Michael Baigent (_Holy Blood, Holy Grail_) traces the transmission of this knowledge over the centuries from Mesopotamia, through Egypt and Florence, to modern times. He shows that early Assyrian and Babylonian cosmological speculation played a significant role in the Renaissance, influencing Cosimo de Medici, Marsilio Ficino, and Botticelli.
