The Dissemination of Astrology in the West from Babylonian and Egypt by Franz Cumont is a comprehensive study of the origins and spread of astrology in the Western world. The author explores the ancient Babylonian and Egyptian roots of astrology and how it was transmitted to the Greeks and Romans. The book examines the cultural and religious contexts in which astrology developed and the ways in which it was used in various societies. Cumont also discusses the role of astrology in the development of science and philosophy, as well as its influence on art and literature. The author draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts, archaeological evidence, and historical accounts, to provide a thorough and engaging account of the history of astrology in the West.
