The Duke and the Stars explores science and medicine as studied and practiced in fifteenth-century Italy, including how astrology was taught in relation to astronomy. It illustrates how the "predictive art" of astrology was often a critical, secretive source of information for Italian Renaissance rulers, particularly in times of crisis.
