61. Horoscopes And History abraham bar hiyya (XI), abraham ibn Ezra (XII) and Yosef ben Eliezer (XIV) are goodexamples of what astrology could signify for some educated members of the http://home.planet.nl/~stuck008/hh_abstracts.html

Horoscopes and History Abstracts of Papers Josèphe-Henriette Abry: What was Agrippina Waiting For (Tacitus, Ann. XII, 68-69)? Everyone has heard of the famous night when, after Claudius’death, Agrippina had been playing the part of a weeping widow, preventing news from being spread and preventing Claudius’ children from leaving home, until “tempusque prosperum ex monitis Chaldaeorum adventaret,” according to the words of Tacitus. It was about noon when the doors were opened and Nero finally appeared. Tacitus’ description is precise enough to cast the horoscope of that moment and to understand how a person deeply steeped in astrology can compel fate and manipulate history Dieter Blume: Art and Astrology in the Italian Communes of the Middle Ages The paper will characterize the use of astrological imagery in the Italian communes in the 13th and 14th centuries. From the 13th century on special buildings had been erected for the communal institutions and a variety of iconographies in fresco painting or sculptures were used for the decoration. Astrological themes play a crucial role here, but usually these paintings explain general principles and do not show specific horoscopes. There are significant exceptions from this rule in Siena and Florence, though, which also throw an interesting light on popular beliefs. Jean-Patrice Boudet: Horoscopes of the Foundations of Cities: Myth and Realities Tommaso Campanella’s horoscopes of Civitas Solis may be considered as little masterpieces of astrological utopy. But did catarchic horoscopes of that kind ever really exist? Did horoscopes of the foundations of cities correspond to interrogations about an ideal future, a problematic present, or a distant and glorious or catastrophic past? Answers will be proposed for some historical examples: Rome, Constantinople, Gaza, Bagdad, Cairo, Vittoria (near Parma, founded by Frederick II in 1247), Florence, Venice, Bologna, Milan.

Issue 84/85, Fall 1998 ASTROLABES AND MAPS Some time during the Middle Ages people began to make measured maps designed for practical use in navigation. The oldest surviving example is the Pisan chart, now in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. It dates from the late 13th century, but there is no reason to believe that it was the first of its kind. Unlike the mappamundi, which co-existed with the portolan charts for a long time, the new maps emphasized purely geographical features with little of the historical, religious, and fabulous information so prominently displayed on the mappamundi. Among the many questions raised by the portolan charts, one of the most vexing is that of their construction. What kind of instruments were used to make their meticulously drawn coastlines? No written evidence survives from the earliest period of their existence. However, we do know that two tools, useful for making measured maps, were introduced into Europe in the Middle Ages. These were the astrolabes, which appeared in the tenth century, and the compass in the twelfth. The possible use of the compass in making the charts, which are marked by compass roses and rhumb lines, has been widely discussed, though no firm conclusions have been drawn. The use of the astrolabe has been treated very little. The next oldest dates from the 14th century, though it is possible that Western Europeans were using astrolabes of Islamic manufacture imported through Spain.

67. El Huerto Del Nogal - Kabalah - Reencarnación O Guilgul Translate this page b) abraham bar hiyya, (1150 aprox.) en Meditación del alma triste. c)Yehudáh Haleví (1100 aprox.) no menciona el Guilgul en su obra. http://www.elhuertodelnogal.com.ar/kabalahreencarnacion.htm

Reencarnación o Guilgul Kohelet (Eclesiastés) 1,4: “Una generación se va y otra viene, más la tierra permanece”. Resulta obvio, por lo menos para algunos, destacar que el judaísmo y el cristianismo son resurreccionistas. Por ello la visión de la reencarnación se dificulta en varios sentidos: a) No es oficial ni bien entendida la creencia en la reencarnación y por ello no aceptada. b) No resulta sencillo encontrar antecedentes para justificar su existencia, sobre todo si los mismos apuntan a ser oficiales. c) Sólo en la Kabalah, o en un desprendimiento del judaísmo (el movimiento karaíta, primera etapa de Anan ben David, su fundador en el siglo octavo e.c.), encontramos antecedentes serios. En la Kabalah la reencarnación ocupa un lugar trascendente en líneas de pensamiento importantes, como veremos más adelante. Habíamos mencionado como la Resurrección se relacionaba con un retorno de la muerte con el mismo cuerpo en concordancia al momento final de la vida del mismo.

(Catalogue of the exhibition) The European Bell Institute (IEAC Midi-Pyrenees) offered, for the year 2000, a new travelling exhibition dedicated to the history of time. The History of the calendar from 11000 B.C. to the present. The history of dividing time into years of 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8760 hours The history of telling time The history of clock-making from the medieval alarm clock to the quartz watch, by way of the history of monumental mechanical clocks, household clocks (comtoise clocks, pendulums), alarm watches, electric clocks and the atomic clock. The history of sound in time telling by means of religious or lay bells timbres, automatic carillons This exhibition was conceived in the framework of the European programme RECITE II. It is part of the IDC medici dossier on the construction of steeples. In this framework if helped develop an awareness by indigenous populations and regional European groups of the conservation of clock towers which have become real estate by allocation.

Here are some of the questions that the exhibition "... listening to time ..." offers to answer.

A Breath of Life Rabbi Nachman of Breslav told of the king who sent his son to distant places to learn wisdom." When the son returned home he was well versed in all branches of knowledge. The king then told his son to take a large stone, the size of a millstone, and bring it up to the palace attic. The son looked at the stone and realized that he would not be able to lift it. It was a huge, heavy boulder. He felt very bad because he would not be able to fulfill his father's request. The king then explained his true intention to his son: "Did you really think that I wanted you to carry this huge boulder" Even with all your wisdom, you could not do it. My intention is that you take a hammer and break the boulder into small pieces. You will then be able to bring the entire boulder up into the attic." In this story from Outpouring of the Soul , translated by Aryeh Kaplan, the Rebbe addresses those of us struggling for enlightenment with hearts heavy as stone. What we must do, he said, "is take the hammer of words, and break and crumble our hearts of stone. And then we can lift our heart up to God." Bazak Four contains the words of Torah, the words

The Infancy Narratives in Matthew and Luke by James Kiefer PART ONE INTRODUCTION THE STAR AND THE MAGI THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM A COMET OR NOVA? Let us consider the opening of the second chapter of Matthew: + Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of + Herod the king, there came Magi from the East to Jerusalem + saying, "Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have + seen his star in the rising and have come to pay him homage." THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM A PLANETARY CONJUNCTION? AN ASTROLOGY LESSON JUPITER, SATURN, AND PISCES Matthew describes the wise men as seeing a star and deducing that it heralded the birth of a great king. Whatever else the wise men were, they were astrologers that is, they believed that the motions and appearances of the heavenly bodies foretold earthly events. Now a simple conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, such as happened every twenty years, would not seem especially significant, but a triple conjunction would receive more attention. What would astrologers of that time take it to mean? Jupiter was regarded as the royal planet, the sign of kings. Therefore the conjunction would have been taken to indicate a royal event, such as the birth of a king.
