ReplyDeleteNot that simple. Nobody can pay a paleographer to transcribe a manuscript and a translator to translate it for as few readers as I have.
DeleteThank you!

DeleteThats Awessome, dude, thanks for this post!

DeleteThe order of the planets in the second table is odd.
ReplyDeleteIt s not odd at all. We have a popular version of the order from the Romans, of the days of the week. The other order is the descending order or Chaldean order, from Saturn to Moon. That was made popular by Agrippa. But older sources have other orders and attributions as well. Copper was not always Venus, Iron was not always Mars, etc. Just read classical works, beyond Agrippa :)
