This book is a translation of Book XVIII
of Morin's Astrologia Gallica. The
original text was translated from Morin's scholarly Latin into modern
Spanish by Pepita Sanchis Llacer. I translated the Spanish text of Sanchis
Llacer into English, looking selectively at the Latin text along the way.
My goal was to make Morin's dense academic style comprehensible in English.
Special thanks go to Pepita Sanchis Llacer (P.S.L.) for her excellent
Spanish translation of Morin's text and her many clarifications, to James
Holden (J.H.) who helped when I was stuck on Morin's Latin, and to Robert
M. Corre (R.M.C.) of the Forum on Astrology for his understanding and
explanation of the ideas of Morin and his modern disciple Zoltan Mason.
Their footnoted comments do much to clarify Morin's text. Special thanks
also go to John crawlers for his generous assistance in reviewing, editing,
and revising the translation. Although I have made every effort to render
Morin's ideas accurately, it is possible that I have misunderstood some of
Morin's original text written, as it is, in scholarly Latin in a dense
academic style, and l assume responsibility for any errors or inaccuracies
in the present translation.—A.L.L.
