270 THE ORIENTAL RELIGIONS. Hippolytus, Philos., V, I, says of Isis (Ishtar?) in connection with the Naasenians. She is eTrrdo-roXoj, because nature also is covered with seven ethereal garments, the seven heavens of the planets; see Ps.-Apul., Asclepius, 34 (p. 75, 2 Thomas): "Mundum sensibilem et, quae in eo sunt, omnia a superiore illo mundo quasi ex vestimento esse contecta." I have insisted upon the persistence of this idea, because it may help us to grasp the significance attributed to a detail of the Mithra ritual in connection with which Porphyry relates nothing but con tradictory interpretations. The persons initiated into the seven degrees were obliged to put on different costumes. The seven degrees of initiation successively conferred upon the mystic were symbols of the seven planetary spheres, through which the soul ascended after death (Mon. myst. Mithra, I, p. 316), the garments assumed by the initiates were probably con sidered as emblems of those "tunics" which the soul put on when descending into the lower realms and discarded on re turning to heaven. 55. Renan, Marc-Aurclc, p. 5/9. 56. Anatole France, Le mannequin d osier, p. 318. Cf. Rei- nach, op. cit. [p. 260], p. 232. VII. ASTROLOGY AND MAGIC. BIBLIOGRAPHY : Bouche-Leclercq s book L astrologie grecque (Paris, 1899) makes it unnecessary to refer to the earlier works of Saumaise (Dc antris climactcricis, 1648), of Seiffarth (Beitrdge zur Lit. des alien Aegyplcn, II, 1883), etc. Most of the facts cited by us are taken from that monumental treatise, unless otherwise stated. A large number of new texts has been published in the Catalogus codicum astrologorum Graccorum (9 vols. ready, Brussels, 1898). Franz Boll, Sphaera (Leipsic, 1903) is important for the history of the Greek and barbarian constellations (see Rev. archeol., 1903, I, p. 437). De la Ville de Mirmont has furnished notes on L astrologie en Gaule au V* siccle (Rev. des Etudes anciennes, 1902, pp. iiSfT. ; 1903, pp. 255 ff. ; 1906, p. 128). Also in book form, Bordeaux, 1904. The principal results of the latest researches have been outlined to perfection by Boll, Die Erforschung der
NOTES ASTROLOGY AND MAGIC. 271 antiken Astrologie (Neue Jahrb. fur das klass. Altert., XI), 1908, pp. 104 ff. For the bibliography of magic, cf. infra, notes, 58 ff. i. Stephan. Byzant.

Louis Havet, Revue bleue, Nov., 1905, p. 644. 3. Cf. supra, p. 146, p. 123. 4. Kroll, Aus der Gesch. der Astrol (Ncuc Jahrb. fur das klass. Altertum, VII), 1901, pp. 598 ff. Cf. Boll, Cat. codd. astr., VII, p. 130. 5. The argumentation of Posidonius, placed at the begin ning of the Tetrabiblos, inspired the defense of astrology, and it has been drawn upon considerably by authors of widely different spirit and tendencies, see Boll, Studicn uber Claudius Ptolemdus, 1894, pp. 133 ff. 6. Suetonius, Tib., 69. 7. Suetonius, Otlwn, 8; cf. Bouchc-Lcclercq, p. 556, n. 4. 8. On these edifices, cf. Maass, Tagesgottcr, 1902. The form "Septizonia" is preferable to "Septizodia" ; cf. Schiirer, Sieben- tdgige Wochc (Extr. Zeitschr. neutestam. Wissensch., VI), 1904, pp. 31, 63. 9. Friedlander, Sittengesch., I, p. 364. It appears that astrol ogy never obtained a hold on the lower classes of the rural population. It has a very insignificant place in the folklore and healing arts of the peasantry. 10. Manilius, IV, 16. For instance CIL, VI, 13782, the epi taph of a Syrian freedman : "L. Caecilius L. l(ibertus) Syrus, natus mense Maio hora noctis VI, die Mercuri, vixit aim. VI dies XXXIII, mortuus est IIII Kal. lulias hora X, elatus est h(ora) III frequentia maxima." Cf. Bucheler, Carm. cpigr., 1536: "Voluit hoc astrum meum." 11. Chapter ITepi Setirvov ; Cat. codd. astr., IV, p. 94. The precept : "Ungues Mercuric, barbam love, Cypride crinem,"
