Divisors, chronocrators, almutens in a Renaissance geniture

1
Very recently a friend of mine, the Italian astrologer Grazia Bordoni, sent me the original calculations of an unknown Renaissance astrologer for Alfonso d'Este geniture.

Excerpts of the reading can be read in her site (the article was written by a former President of the Italian Astrological association)

but it is clearly not focused on traditional astrology.

So I used the tables she sent me for an article of mine. I believe they are quite interesting because the Renaissance astrologers shows as he proceeded to calculation of the almutens of the geniture, divisor, hyleg and alchocoden.

Moreover instead of using the more famous firdaria he uses for allocating time periods, the Greek technique of time-Lord mentioned by Firmicus too.
If someone is interested the article with pictures from the original manuscript - it does not come from the Internet :) and my research of text can be found in my blog:

Thanks to the kind words.
These chronocrators are very interesting for me too. It's funny how authors - like Giuntini does- talk about firdaria and chronocrators one after the other, without considering they should be alternative methods.

I liked the almutens tables too because this is an example how how a real astrologer calculates something, we have tons of theoretical books, but detailed examples are rarer.

Anyway I'm updating a new version of the article- not scanned. I believe you can translate it with Google translate
