Interesting study of the sphere, its philosophy and myth. Essentially the sphere may be understood as Necessity (Ananke) that reaches to the most extreme reaches of the universe and is both the beginning and the end (for the sphere has neither beginning nor end), as well as its nemesis. The "cosmic egg" comes into the mind. The radius of Urania introduces the measurable in immeasurable and infinite, she is the prime cartographer of the world. It is the astronomer's and astrologist's labor to cognize her work. It is there where Moirai play, in the motion of metamorphoses of the world. I equate (wrongly, for they relate to historical philosophers) the Seven Sages with the Seven wise-men of the Chaldean order of planetai and enrich my personal, oft allegorical system of practiced hermetica. Highly recommended.… (mais)

A time warp, 1973 first edition but this one with an updated bibliography. The core bibliography and catalogue of illustrations very useful
