The present book reveals the riches of the earliest known astrological autobiography, authored by Henry Bate of Mechelen (1246–after 1310). Exploiting all resources of contemporary astrological science, Bate conducts in his Nativitas 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. The Astrological Autobiography of a Medieval Philosopher offers the first critical edition of Bate's Nativitas. 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.

Arvustused

Das Buch ist ein schönes Beispiel dafür, was in Kooperation erreichbar ist es handelt sich um eine mustergültige Edition, die man sich für so manchen astrologischen Quellentext wünschen würde. Günther Oestmann, Deutsches Archiv für Erforschung des Mittelalters, 77. Jahrgang, Heft 1, 2021 Cette publication de la Nativitas, lautobiographie astrologique du savant et philosophe Henri Bate de Malines (1246 après 1310), un texte unique en son genre, représente un événement attendu depuis près dun siècle avec la publication, en 1924, dun article du grand historien des sciences Aleksander Birkenmajer, qui résumait sa thèse sur Henri Bate, restée inédite. Le présent volume, issu de la collaboration entre quatre chercheurs de renom, vient donc combler un vide important, dont on comprend très bien quil ait duré si longtemps, considérant lextrême difficulté de la matière. Jean-Patrice Boudet, Mittellateinisches Jahrbuch 56,1 (2021) Bates rich treatise touches on more themes than the editorial team could begin to address; I flagged several passages to which I wish to return in my own work on astrology and prophecy. For all of these reasons, 'The Astrological Autobiography of a Medieval Philosopher' is a real gift, for which scholars will long remain in the editors debt. Laura Ackerman Smoller, IsisVolume 111, Number 3, September 2020 Die insgesamt äußerst sorgfältige Edition macht damit einen Text verfügbar, der eine Vielzahl von Einblicken in die Welt des späten 13. Jahrhunderts eröffnet. Auch jenseits der Forschung zur Geschichte der Astrologie ist dem Werk daher uneingeschränkt eine breite Rezeption zu wünschen. Klaus Oschema, The Medieval Review 20.04.06 'The Astrological Autobiography of a Medieval Philosopher' offers the first critical edition of Bates 'Nativitas'. An extensive introduction presents Bates 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.Studi Medievali 2019, II This is the first complete Latin edition of Bate's Nativitas, and it is an impressive scholarly achievement whose depths can only be hinted at in this review. Not only have the editors produced the definitive edition of Bate's text, they have also written what amounts to a separate monograph to contextualize it.Justin Lake, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2019.09.58 It would require an undue amount of space to list all of the aspects that make this edition of Bates Nativitasan arresting source for anyone interested in medieval intellectual and cultural history. Most importantly, perhaps, the book subtly undermines facile clichés about the nature of medieval astrology and in their place gives us a glimpse of the inner workings of the art, revealing an occasionally stunning degree of complexity and psychological depth.
