Catherine the Great and the Expansion of Russia.

Beschreibung

?Catherine the Great of Russia had a career no biographer need highlight for effect and Miss Thomson gives it a stirring recital. But she does considerably more; the setting is expertly sketched, the cities, social background, even the physical geography of eighteenth-century Russia are described with precision, and space is found for the arts and sciences.?-Saturday Review of Literature

Autor

The author of "Picatrix" was likely a highly educated and intellectually versatile scholar, deeply rooted in the Arabic-speaking world of the 11th century. He was well-versed in a variety of disciplines, including astrology, alchemy, and philosophy, drawing on Greek, Persian, and Indian sources. As a participant in the Islamic Golden Age's rich scholarly tradition, he likely had access to extensive libraries and intellectual circles. His work suggests a blend of academic knowledge and practical application, indicating both theoretical understanding and hands-on experience in astrological and magical practices.
