Astrology was hotly debated during the late Middle Ages and the
Renaissance. See, among others:
D.A. Cameron, The star-crossed Renaissance: the quarrel about astrology
and its influence in England (Duke UP, 1941).
L.A. Smoller, History, prophecy and the stars: the Christian astrology of
Pierre d'Ailly (Princeton UP, 1994).
Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, Disputationes adversus astrologiam, ed. E.
Garin, 2 vols. (Firenze: Vallecchi, 1946-52).
To the best of my memory Coopland did a book on Oreme & astrology. At the
1996 Leeds conference a graduate student from Groningen did a paper on
this topic, but his name eludes me.
