First Complete Translation
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
While a significant portion of this specific manuscript (the Brontologion) was translated by Marinus Anthony van der Sluijs in 2008, and excerpts of the 'Sphere of Pythagoras' have appeared in scholarly articles, there is no evidence of a complete English translation of the entire manuscript compilation (MS R.15.36). This work represents the first time the full collection of Greek astrological and divinatory texts from this 14th-century codex has been translated into English.
