Series reading order: Collection Des Universites de France Serie Latine
The Collection Des Universites de France Serie Latine provides scholarly access to foundational Latin literature. This specific selection includes two volumes dedicated to Firmicus Maternus, specifically covering the first and second books in Tome I, followed by Books III through V in Tome II. The series also features an anonymous treatise on physiognomy edited by Jacques Andre. These texts represent key primary sources for the study of late antique astrology and character analysis. The volumes are arranged to facilitate the examination of Maternus's astrological system across multiple books, while the physiognomy text stands as a distinct contribution to the field of physical characterization within the Latin tradition.
