Sažetak
The paper is intended to examine the role of astrology in Petrić’s and Ficino’s understanding of the influence of the heaven on the earthly. In the analysis of the problem the authoress uses Ficino’s Liber de vita (1489) and Petrić’s Nova de universis philosophia (1591). The first focal point is Petrić’s concept of the role of astrology within his ontology, and the second one is Ficino’s concept of astrology in his natural magic. Ficino uses several astrological elements in the construction of his natural magic, in which process the Liber de vita shows the entire complexity of his attitudes concerning astrology; The authoress does not find them in Petrić’s reception of Ficino. Since Petrić only describes Ficino as an opponent of astrology, the question should be posed whether Petrić had been familiar with all of Ficino’s works, or whether he had only used the parts that were necessary in the construction of his own philosophy. The final part of the paper consists of the comparison that starts from the Neo-Platonic foundations of the two philosophers and considers the connections and the similarities of their views regarding astrology and the influence of the heavenly on the earthly in relation to Plotinus’ views.
