The Horoscope as Primary Source Evidence for Understanding Local Calendar Practice in Late Fifteenth-century England
This article examines how a horoscope can serve as primary source evidence for understanding local calendar practice in late fifteenth-century England. It focuses on a horoscope elected by Richard Fitzjames (d. 1522), Warden of Merton College, Oxford (1483–1507), and chaplain to Henry VII, for the laying of the foundation stone of his building programme. The horoscope, originally part of a stained-glass programme in the Warden’s Lodgings, was des…
Special Issue Introduction
The Horoscopic Place
This article investigates whether astrology is an alternative spiritual practice associated with divination, an occurrence beyond normal human experience. Between July 2015 and July 2016 I conducted semi-structured interviews with seven astrologers who had each been practicing, writing, and teaching astrology for twenty-?ve years or more.

In his book Pictures and Tears: A History of People Who Have Cried in Front of Paintings (New York: Routledge, 2001) James Elkins describes how, as a young boy, he first encountered Giovanni Bellini's St. Francis in the Desert (c 1480) at the Frick Collection and was ‘transfixed by a world where every ordinary object glinted in a half-sacred light’. Every visit thereafter increased his love and fascination for the work and anchored the place in h…
