The theory of Jupiter-Saturn conjunction from Late Antiquity to High Middle Ages
Stefano Buscherini

Language: Italian

This is to my knowledge the best work you can find about astrological theories and interpretations related to mundane astrology, especially Arabic mundane astrology.
To me the work seems to be written by a person with a solid knowledge of traditional astrology, and perhaps (this could be a speculation) with some astrological practice.
What is also very pleasing to see is that there are no ?out of nothing? statements. Always you will find a reference so that (if you want) you can go to the source. This is very important, not because I wouldn?t want to know the personal opinion of the author, but because I want to keep a clear image about what I would call the ?inheritance? (this is a guarantee for me that whenever I am lost I can go back to the classical doctrine)

Let's say that the Professor with whom Buscherini wrote this dissertation is Antonio Panaino, who is one of the most famous living orientalist.

It should not be so awful

I envy you. I wish I could read all of Panaino's writings on Persian/Iranian star lore too as it probably represents the most thorough scholarship on the subject extant.
