The long awaited „THE ORPHIC ASTROLOGER CRITODEMUS“ by Cristian Tolsa is out.
As the preface of the book says: „This book collects the 20 surviving fragments from Critodemus, arranged thematically in 8 chapters. They are presented in the original Greek (except for one fragment in Latin, and one mostly numerical fragment) with a simplified apparatus criticus noting the most relevant variants, followed by an annotated translation and commentary essays. Most fragments are quotations from astrological authors such as Vettius Valens, Firmicus Maternus, or Hephaestio, whose manuscripts have been adequately collated in modern editions, hence the decision not to make the book sensu strictoan edition.“

Published by De Gruyter, hence it is a bit pricey, but very nicely produced. I am not promoting the book, just letting you know it is out, as it was delayed "a bit". Got my copy from Amazon, but checking it today: it does not list it, again, at least not in their German version. Obviously, I have not read it, yet. However, I would be interested in Forum readers’ eventual comments on this book, as it is one of the pieces of Hellenistic astrology history, which has not been researched to a great extent.
