Pierre d'Ailly, French theologian and philosopher, bishop and cardinal
not forget that numerous talented historical figures took care of Astrology, which once was not detached from certain areas of research, sometimes church. We cite for example, Pierre d'Ailly, French theologian and philosopher, bishop and cardinal, born in 1350 and probably died in Compiègne Avignon in 1420. We read in the Catholic Encyclopedia :
"He Was a believer in astrology, and in His" Concordance with History of Astronomy "he Attempts to show That the dates of the main events of history can be Determined by astronomical Calculations . .
that translated into Italian, "He believed in Astrology and its Concordance to the History of Astronomy , he tries to show that the dates of the major events of history can be determined by astronomical calculations.".

Tired All The Time, Pees Alot
Astrology in Italy at the time of Galileo Galilei
A text Pierluigi Pizzamiglio , the following description: Among
Sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, in the century that took the life of Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), modern science has failed taking certain distinctive features of his physiognomy. In the field of historiography, however, often has not shown that, in that context, astrology has taken the peculiar social and cultural figure that still makes the subject of contradictory assessments. Through the chronological presentation, as on a stage, a significant number of Italian printed books, which appeared in the century of Galileo and written for or against astrology, this volume provides an account of the events of a cultural phenomenon historically well configured, and yet elusive, choice for many of his 'actors'. In particular, it highlights how, after several failed attempts to gain credit as science, astronomy or nature, as a result of the proscriptions also philosophical, scientific and ecclesiastical, astrology has carved its own place of existence and survival, both in imaginary and symbolic world of the psychological, individual or social, both in terms of typical folk.
