Declamation on the Nobility and Preeminence of the Female Sex
Author: Henricus Cornelius Agrippa
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226010600
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 143
Book Description
Originally published in 1529, the Declamation on the Preeminence and Nobility of the Female Sex argues that women are more than equal to men in all things that really matter, including the public spheres from which they had long been excluded. Rather than directly refuting prevailing wisdom, Agrippa uses women's superiority as a rhetorical device and overturns the misogynistic interpretations of the female body in Greek medicine, in the Bible, in Roman and canon law, in theology and moral philosophy, and in politics. He raised the question of why women were excluded and provided answers based not on sex but on social conditioning, education, and the prejudices of their more powerful oppressors. His declamation, disseminated through the printing press, illustrated the power of that new medium, soon to be used to generate a larger reformation of religion.

De magnis coniunctionibus
Author: Abū Maʻshar
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : la
Pages : 616
Book Description
This volume provides the Arabic, Latin and English text of the major work on historical astrology of the Middle Ages.

In eight books (parts) it provides the scientific basis for predictions concerning kings, prophets, dynasties, religions, wars, epidemics etc., by means of conjunctions of planets, comets and other astronomical factors. It is cited frequently by both Arabic and Latin authors. These editions will provide, for the first time, the context of these citations. Aside from its intrinsic interest for cultural history and the history of science, this work provides several details. The print edition is available as a set of two volumes (9789004117334).
