M. Manilii Astronomicon is a Latin didactic poem written in the first century AD by Marcus Manilius. The poem, in five books, discusses astronomy, astrology, and cosmology, presenting a Stoic view of the universe. Manilius’s work is notable for its complex metrical structure and its ambitious attempt to synthesize scientific knowledge with poetic form. Though relatively neglected in antiquity, the Astronomicon experienced a revival during the Renaissance and has since been valued for its insights into Roman intellectual history and its influence on subsequent astronomical and literary traditions. This edition offers a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in classical literature, the history of science, and the intellectual world of the Roman Empire.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
