Sur les traces du De motibus / iudiciis planetarum attribué à Ptolémée
Résumé
A short astrological treatise about the properties of the planets in the zodiac, called De motibus planetarum or De iudiciis planetarum, and attributed to Ptolemy (inc. Sub Saturno sunt hec signa Capricornus et Aquarius et sunt eius domus) appears from the XIIIth century onwards in two distinct traditions: in the encyclopaedias of Bartholomew the Englishman and Arnold of Saxony, both written around 1230-45, and in astronomical miscellanies copied in the fifteenth century either in or around Basel and in Northern Italy. These fifteenth-century. manuscripts fall into two distinct groups of astronomical texts: the first is copied together with the De signis of Michael Scot, the second together with a part of the third book of Hyginus’ De astronomia. The present article aims to describe the characteristics of the distinct textual filiations of De m. / iud. pl. and gives the first critical edition of the text.
