"The corpus of astrological material ascribed to the Egyptian priest Manetho consists
of six books of poetry. This book serves as the companion to the one published by
OUP in 2020, which was the first commentary in any language on the earliest three
books of Manetho's poetry (two, three, and six as they appear in the manuscript).
This volume supplies the remainder (books four, one, and five). Manetho was credited
with a series of didactic poems which list outcomes for planetary set-ups in a birth
chart. The books covered in this volume are not as easily dated as those in the first
volume, but the most recent is probably no later than the fourth century and they
are still Egyptian. As in the first volume, their descriptions of the kinds of person
who are born under happy and unhappy configurations of stars speak to the lived realities,
aspirations, and fears of the astrologer's clientele. Unlike in the first volume,
however, the individual books treated here have different authors, and there is more
emphasis on profiling individual poets in terms of style, metre, and mannerisms. As
in the first volume, there is a Greek text with English translation and an apparatus
with parallel material to enable comparison with related works. But this volume pays
more attention to the transmission of traditional material from one author to another,
and to the special approach required of an editor of material which, being in practical
use, circulated in unstable and minutely-varying textual forms."
