This volume presents the surviving works of Joannes Laurentius Lydus, including his treatise 'De Ostentis' (On Omens) and fragments from his book 'De Mensibus' (On Months). Also included is a fragment of Manlius Boethius' work 'De Diis Et Praesensionibus' (On Gods and Prescience). Lydus, a 6th-century Byzantine administrator and writer, provides valuable insights into the beliefs and practices of late antiquity, particularly concerning divination and the interpretation of omens. His writings reflect the intersection of Roman traditions and emerging Christian culture. This edition, edited by Charles Benoît Hase, offers a scholarly presentation of these important texts for students and researchers interested in ancient history, Byzantine studies, and the history of astrology and divination.
