Show Notes

In this brief video we once more talk to Professor Julio Samsó, this time on his new book: On Both Sides of the Strait of Gibraltar. Studies on the History of Medieval Astronomy in the Iberian Peninsula and the Maghrib. This work gathers his life research, and although it is focused on astronomy, it includes an important chapter on astrological practices that is an invaluable contribution to the history of astrology.
