The Crown and the Cosmos examines the complex ways that political practice and astrological discourse interacted at the Habsburg court, a key center of political and cultural power in early modern Europe. Like other monarchs, Maximilian I used astrology to help guide political actions, turning to astrologers and their predictions to find the most propitious times to sign treaties or arrange marriage contracts. Perhaps more significantly, the emperor employed astrology as a political tool to gain support for his reforms and to reinforce his own legitimacy as well as that of the Habsburg dynasty. Darin Hayton analyzes the various rhetorical tools astrologers used to argue for the nobility, antiquity, and utility of their discipline, and how they strove to justify their 'science' on the grounds that through its rigorous interpretation of the natural world, astrology could offer more reliable predictions. This book draws on extensive printed and manuscript sources from archives across northern and central Europe, including Poland, Germany, France, and England"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aAstrology$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aAstrology and politics 607 $aVienna (Austria)$xCivilization$y16th century 615 0$aAstrology$xHistory 615 0$aAstrology and politics. 676 $a133.50943/09031 686 $aSCI034000$2bisacsh 700 $aHayton$b Darin$0855949 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810348703321 996 $aThe crown and the cosmos$94098473 997 $aUNINA
