Astrology's role in medieval society is explored through the works of Pierre d'Ailly, a cardinal whose writings significantly influenced Christopher Columbus. This book delves into d'Ailly's letters, sermons, and treatises, highlighting how he integrated astrology with Christian thought to interpret history and prophecy, while grappling with concepts like free will and divine power. His prediction of the Antichrist's arrival in 1789 reflects his anxiety over the Great Schism, revealing how astrology served as both a coping mechanism and a tool for understanding his turbulent times.
