EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print from 1513, we are transported back to the Renaissance era, where Arabian astrologers diligently scan the heavens for celestial insights. The image is taken from Ambrosius Theodosius Macrobius' renowned work "In Somnium Scipionis" which was published in Venice during that time. The scene depicts a group of learned men engrossed in their research, using various tools and instruments to measure and observe the stars above. Amongst them stands an Italian scientist named Ambrose, who is known for his accuracy and expertise in astrology. With focused expressions on their faces, these astronomers delve into the mysteries of the universe with an air of intrigue and curiosity. One cannot help but be captivated by the atmosphere of occult knowledge surrounding these scholars as they navigate through uncharted territories. A sextant lies nearby, symbolizing their commitment to precise measurement and calculation. This woodcut serves as a testament to humanity's timeless fascination with astronomy and its role in shaping our understanding of ourselves and our place within the cosmos. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, it becomes evident that even centuries ago, scientists were driven by a thirst for knowledge beyond what meets the eye. It reminds us that exploration knows no bounds – whether it be through ancient texts or cutting-edge technology – as we continue our quest to unravel the secrets hidden among the stars above us.
