A Chronology of d'Ailly's Works Dealing with Astrology., 0, , Although astrology was viewed with suspicion by the medieval church, it became a major area of inquiry for the renowned cardinal and scholar Pierre d'Ailly, whose astrological and apocalyptic writings had a significant influence on Christopher Columbus. D'Ailly's writings on the stars, the focus of this book, clearly illustrate the complex relationships among astrology, science, and Christian thinking in the later Middle Ages. Through an examination of his letters, sermons, and philosophical, astrological, and theological treatises, Laura Ackerman Smoller reveals astrology's appeal as a scientific means to interpret history and prophecy, and not merely as a magical way to forecast and manipulate one's own fate. At the same time, she shows how d'Ailly dealt with delicate problems - such as free will and God's omnipotence - in elevating astrology to a compelling, but not always consistent, "natural theology.", The French cardinal's most intriguing prediction was for the advent of Antichrist in 1789, one that stemmed from his deep concern over the Great Schism (1378-1414). Smoller maintains that the division in the church led d'Ailly to fear the imminence of the apocalypse, and that he eventually turned to astrology to quell his apocalyptic fears, thereby gaining confidence that a church council could heal the Schism. In elucidating the place of astrology in medieval society, this book also affords a personal glimpse of a man facing a profound crisis., , 8, , , 1995.030, , , swd, ram, Ailly, Pierre d',, Pierre,, Ailly, Pierre d',, Peter, Ailly, Pierre d', d'Ailly, Cardinal,, von Ailly., 1350-1420?, 1350-1420?, 1350-1420?, (1351-1420), 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 4, 6, 7, 7, Et l'astrologie., Et l'astrologie., gtt, gtt, gtt, swd, swd, swd, ram, ram, ram, ram, ram, Astrology, Occultism, Astrologie., Late middeleeuwen., Occultisme., Astrologie, Occultisme, Christentum., Prophetie., Astrologie., Christianisme et astrologie, Christianisme et occultisme, Prophéties (occultisme), Astrologie, Occultisme, Astronomie., Astrologie., Religion., Histoire, Histoire, France., , , 1, 1, 1, , , 0, 0, 0, , , , , , , , , , , , 0, 0, 7, 7, 7, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, History., Religious aspects, Christianity, History, Histoire., Aspect religieux, Christianisme, Histoire., Aspect religieux, Christianisme, Histoire., Middle Ages, 600-1500., Moyen âge., Moyen âge., Moyen âge., Moyen âge., 14e siècle., 15e siècle., Astrology, France, 0, 0, , , Table of contents, Publisher description, Inhaltsverzeichnis, 4, 4, 4, 1, 2, 2, http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/prin031/93044907.html, http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/prin021/93044907.html, http://www.gbv.de/dms/bowker/toc/9780691087887.pdf, Baker and Taylor, BTCP, $35.00, , , 93044907, HELD BY AP$ - 381 OTHER HOLDINGS, , , c, a, m, a, a29357795zDLCdURIhFulliLCCkDDCnSummarytContentsu20130520, a182838666zBHAbHARVARD UNIV, DIVINITY SCH LIBRhFull batchiLCCkDDCu20100719, a270256565zAN#bMORGAN LIBR & MUSEUM THEhFulliLCCkDDCu20100722, a134843984zRBNbBROWN UNIVhFulliLCCkDDCu20100625, a240565773zHLSbHARVARD UNIV, HARVARD COL LIBRhFull batchiLCCkDDCu20100725, a240565778zHLSbHARVARD UNIV, HARVARD COL LIBRhLess-than-full batchiLCCkDDCu20100727, a486969587zN15bNEW YORK UNIV, GROUP BATCHLOADhFulliLCCkDDCu20120530, a176547047zPULbPRINCETON UNIVhFulliLCCkDDCu20100626, a369049627zUBYbBRIGHAM YOUNG UNIV LIBRhPrepubiLCCkDDCu20130919, a274897480zSTFbSTANFORD UNIV LIBRhFulliLCCkDDCu20131003, a189582305zPAUbUNIV OF PENNSYLVANIAhFulliLCCkDDCu20100718, a127558959zIPSbINSTITUTE FOR ADV STUDY LIBRhFulliLCCkDDCu20100714, a476616661zTEUbTEMPLE UNIVhFullu20100701, a265499864zCUDbCAMBRIDGE UNIVhFullu20110816, a685862746zYUSbYALE UNIV LIBRhFulliLCCkDDCu20101128, aZ0bAP$, BF1679.8 .A453 S56 1994
