Le colloque est parrainé par le monastère de Batalha en collaboration avec le projet Astra, avec le soutien du CIHUCT, de l’Université de Lisbonne (FCT – UIDB/00286/2020), de la municipalité de Batalha, du CEPAE – Centro do Património da Estremadura, et de M.

Argumentaire
The Tools of the Art is the first academic meeting organised by the ASTRA Project. Several scholars will gather to debate the state of research on the historical study of astrological techniques and discuss new lines of study.
The conference is sponsored by the Monastery of Batalha in collaboration with the Astra project, with the support of CIHUCT, University of Lisbon (FCT – UIDB/00286/2020), the Batalha Municipality, CEPAE – Centro do Património da Estremadura, and M. Moleiro Editor.
The goal of the conference is to discuss the history of astrological doctrines and practices. Particular attention will be given to the creation, application, and development of astrological techniques: the principles and concepts that form the core of the astrological interpretation.
Despite astrology’s importance in western pre-modern culture, the academic study of its functioning has been sparse. The Astra Project seeks to fill this gap by bringing a deeper historical understanding of astrology’s inner workings, thus offering an essential key to the comprehension of this cultural phenomenon. This conference is the first step towards that goal.
The conference will be held in honour of Helena Avelar (1964–2021) who first promoted it.
