Introduction

I first composed this bibliographical guide and posted it to the Web in the

early 1990s. It was based upon a personal database I had compiled in the course

of researching my doctoral dissertation, Astrology and Judaism in Late Antiquity

(Miami University, 1990). Since that time the bibliography has proven useful to

many and I have continued my researches, leading me to revise it more than

once. A version was added to the published version of my dissertation, Written

in the Stars: Ancient Zodiac Mosaics (Shangri La Publications, 2000). Now I am

updating it and posting it to the Web once again, to replace the site which I

formerly used.

Since 1997, I have lived and taught in China. I have not been able to read as

many new Western books as formerly, but, on the other hand, I have been able to

start studying Chinese astrology, and have added a section on that topic. As

before, I welcome suggestions of other books and articles. I have also added a

small section of links to other Web sites dealing with the scholarly study of

astrology.

Let me add my thanks to all those who have helped me with this new version,

particularly my editor, Sheldon Gosline, the autokrator of Shangri La Publs.,

who contributed many Islamic and Indian titles, and also Richard Brzustowicz,

for bringing a rare book on Tibetan astrology to my attention, as well as for

many stimulating e-conversations.
