The Tetrabiblos or Quadripartite of Ptolemy is a book written by James Wilson in 1828. It is a four-part work that focuses on the influence of the stars on human affairs. The book is based on the teachings of the ancient Greek astronomer and astrologer, Ptolemy, and is divided into four books that cover various topics related to astrology. The first book deals with the general principles of astrology, including the nature of the planets and their influence on human affairs. The second book focuses on the influence of the planets on individual human lives, including the use of horoscopes to predict future events. The third book covers the influence of the planets on nations and the world at large, including the use of astrology in politics and war. The fourth and final book is a collection of astrological charts and tables designed to aid in the interpretation of astrological phenomena.Throughout the book, Wilson draws on the work of Ptolemy and other ancient astrologers to provide a comprehensive overview of the subject. He also includes his own interpretations and insights, making the book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and practice of astrology. The Tetrabiblos or Quadripartite of Ptolemy is a classic work of astrology that continues to be studied and referenced to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
