<<In Ginzberg's Legends of the Jews, archangels are said
to be "comptrollers" of the Sun, Moon and five planets.
VENUS' archangel is named "ANIEL" in that book.
VENUS is characterized either as a fallen angel, a planet or both.
(Lucifer is the corresponding Christian name). >>

A TREATISE ON THE SEVEN SECONDARY CAUSES, I.E.,
INTELLIGENCES, OR SPIRITS, WHO MOVE THE SPHERES
ACCORDING TO GOD
A Little Book or MYSTICAL CHRONOLOGY
Containing within a Short Compass Marvellous Secrets
Worthy of Interest
To the august & pious MAXIMILIAN I, Emperor & Caesar:
Most wise Emperor, this lower world, created and organized by the
First Intelligence, who is God, is ruled by Secondary Intelligences.
Hermes, who gave us the science of the MAGI,
confirms this view when he says that seven Spirits were assigned to
the
seven Planets from the beginning of the heavens and of the earth.
Each of these Spirits rules the universe in turn
for a period of 354 years and 4 months:
1. 1879 to 1510 GABRIEL- Moon (369 yrs)
2. 1510 to 1190 SAMUEL- Mars (320 yrs)
3. 1190 to 850 RAPHAEL- MERCURY (340 yrs)
4. 850 to 500 ZachARIEL- Jupiter (350 yrs)
5. 500 to 150 ANAEL- VENUS (350 yrs)
6. 150 to 200 BC Oriphiel- Saturn (350 yrs)
The fourth ruler of the world was RAPHAEL, the Spirit of MERCURY,
whose
rule began on February 24 of the year 1063 following the creation of the
earth and the heavens, and lasted 354 years and 4 months. The
invention
of writing goes back to this period. To begin with, letters were
imagined in the forms of trees and plants, later taking on more
careful forms to be modified at will. Under RAPHAEL, the use of musical
instruments spread; commerce and trading were practiced, as well
as long-distance navigation, and many other marvelous things.

A Christmas Near Occultation - VENUS & Jupiter , June 17, 2 BC
<<One of the most impressive conjunctions with the two brightest
planets passing each other in the sky. (Full occultation only occured
in the far southern hemisphere.) In the middle east, the two planets
were in contact at sunset (in the western sky). VENUS passes Jupiter
at about 2' arc per hour. The eye has a resolution of 1' arc so
the two will appear as one only for a little more than 1 hour.>>

<<Between 1505 & 1507, Dürer [made his 2nd journey] to Italy. In Venice
he met the great master Giovanni Bellini and other artists, and he
obtained an important commission for a painting, the Madonna of the
Rose Garlands (1506, National Museum, Prague), for the German Merchants'
Foundation. Back in Nuremberg in 1507, he created such works as
woodcuts for Triumphal Arch for Holy Roman Emperor MAXIMILIAN I,
and a series of engravings that included
The Knight, Death, & the Devil (1513),
Saint Jerome in His Study (1514),
& Melancholia I (1514).
In 1520, Dürer learned that Charles V, MAXIMILIAN's successor,
was scheduled to travel to Aachen from Spain to be crowned Holy Roman
emperor of the Habsburg dynasty. Dürer had received an annual stipend
from MAXIMILIAN, and he was anxious to meet with Charles to have it
continued. Armed with prints and other artworks, which he sold along
the way to finance his trip, Dürer journeyed to Aachen and on to the
Lowlands between 1520 & 1521. His diary provides a fascinating account
of his travels, his audiences with royalty, and receptions by fellow
artists, especially in Antwerp. His audience with Charles proved
successful. He returned to Nuremberg, where he remained until
his death on April 6, 1528.>>

Dürer, Albrecht (b. May 21, 1471, Imperial Free City of Nürnberg
[Germany]--d. April 6, 1528, Nürnberg), painter and printmaker generally
regarded as the greatest German Renaissance artist. Dürer came from a
Hungarian family of goldsmiths, his father having settled in Nuremberg
in 1455. In The Painter's Father Dürer shows the face with respectful
sensitivity. Dürer is the first great Protestant painter, calling Martin
Luther ``that Christian man who has helped me out of great anxieties''
http://www.kfki.hu/~arthp/bio/d/durer/biograph.html
DÜRER, Albrecht (b. 1471, Nürnberg, d. 1528, Nürnberg)
Albrecht Dürer was the most famous artist of Reformation Germany-
widely known for his paintings, drawings, prints, and theoretical
writings on art, all of which had a profound influence on
16th-century artists in his own country and in the Lowlands.
Dürer was born May 21, 1471, in Nuremberg. His father, Albrecht Dürer
the Elder, was a goldsmith and his son's first art teacher. From his
early training, the young Dürer inherited a legacy of 15th-century
German art strongly dominated by Flemish late Gothic painting. German
artists had little difficulty in adapting their own Gothic tradition to
the Flemish art of Robert Campin, Jan van Eyck, and especially Rogier
van der Weyden. The northern empirical (derived from observation rather
than theory) approach to reality was their common bond. During the 16th
century, stronger ties with Italy through trade, and the spread of
Italian humanist ideas northward, infused the more conservative
tradition of German art with new artistic ideas.
German artists found it difficult to reconcile their medieval
devotional imagery?represented with rich textures, brilliant colors,
& highly detailed figures?with the emphasis by Italian artists on the
antique, on mythological subjects, and on idealized figures.
Dürer's self-appointed task was to provide a model for his northern
contemporaries by which they could combine their own empirical interest
in naturalistic detail with the more theoretical aspects of Italian art.
In his many letters?especially those to his lifelong friend, the
humanist Willibald Pirckheimer?and in his various publications, Dürer
stressed geometry and measurement as the keys to understanding the art
of the Italian Renaissance and, through it, classical art. From about
1507 until his death, he made notes and drawings for his best-known
treatise, the Four Books on Human Proportions (published posthumously,
1528). Artists of his day, however, more visually oriented than literary
figures, looked more to Dürer's engravings and woodcuts than to his
writings to guide them in their attempts to modernize their art with the
classicizing nudes and idealized subjects of the Italian Renaissance.
Apprenticeship and First Journey
After studying with his father, Dürer was apprenticed in 1486 to the
painter and printmaker Michael Wolgemut at the age of 15. Between 1488
and 1493, Wolgemut's shop was engaged in the sizable task of providing
numerous woodcut illustrations for the Nuremberg Chronicle (1493), by
Hartmann Schedel, and Dürer must have received extensive instruction in
making drawings for woodcut designs. Throughout the Renaissance,
southern Germany was a center for publishing, and it was commonplace for
painters of the period to be equally skilled at making woodcuts and
engravings. As was customary for young men who finished their
apprenticeships, Dürer embarked on his bachelor's journey in 1490. In
1492 he was in Colmar, where he tried to join the workshop of the German
painter and engraver Martin Schongauer, who, unbeknownst to Dürer, had
died in 1491. Dürer was advised by Schongauer's brothers to travel to
the Swiss publishing center of Basel to find work. In Basel and later in
Strasbourg, Dürer made illustrations for several publications, including
Sebastian Brant's Das Narrenschiff (Ship of Fools, translated 1507) in
1494. During this early period of his life, between his apprenticeship
and his return to Nuremberg in 1494, Dürer's art demonstrates his
extreme facility with line and his keen observation of detail.
These qualities are especially evident in a series of self-portraits,
including an early drawing (1484, Albertina, Vienna) done when
he was 13, a thoughtful portrait drawn in 1491 and a painting of
himself as an extremely confident young man (1493, Louvre, Paris).
First Italian Journey
After marrying AGNES Frey in Nuremberg in 1494, he left for Italy. He
produced some superbly detailed watercolor landscape studies, probably
during his return journey?for example, a view of the Castle at Trent
(National Gallery, London). During the next ten years in Nuremberg,
from 1495 to 1505, Dürer produced a large number of works that firmly
established his fame. These include his woodcut series the Apocalypse
(1498) and the engravings Large Fortune (1501-1502) and Fall of Man
(1504). Collectively these works and others of the period show his
increasing technical mastery of the woodcut and engraving media, his
understanding of human proportions based on passages by the ancient
Roman writer Vitruvius, and his brilliant ability to incorporate the
details of nature into believable pictures of reality. His Self-Portrait
of 1500 (Alte Pinakothek, Munich), in which he portrayed himself as a
Christ-like figure, summarizes in visual form his lifelong concern for
the elevation of the artist's status above that of a mere artisan.>>

<<On 23 July 1567, while practicing fencing with Edward Baynam,
a TAILOR, in the backyard of Cecil's house in the Strand, the
seventeen-year-old Oxford killed an unarmed undercook named
THOMAS BRINCKNELL
with a thrust to the thigh. A packed jury instructed by CECIL
found that Brincknell had caused his own death by wilfully
hurling himself on Oxford's rapier.
Condemned as a suicide, Brincknell was denied Christian burial,
and his pregnant widow AGNES & three-year-old son QUYNTYN
were stripped of their assets and abandoned to her relatives
and the parish church.>> -- Prof. Alan Nelson

Vier Bucher von menschlicher Proportion.
Hieronymus Formschneider for Dürer's widow [AGNES], 31 Oct., 1528.
First edition of Dürer's famous treatise on artistic anatomy,
containing 142 woodcuts by him showing human figures of varying height
and girth in different postures; all with their proper measurements
and porportions.
This book on human proportions was first published after Dürer's death
and contains an elegy by his friend Prickheimer. According to Heller:
"These proportions are the most extensive work Dürer composed and,
according to the manuscript in Dresden, it is said to have been his
first work, which already had been completed in 1523, but was not issued
before his death."
Written, designed and illustrated by Dürer, this work is notable for
its extraordinary series of anthropometrical woodcuts. The first two
books deal with the proper proportins of the human form; the third
changes the proportions according to mathematical rules, giving examples
of extremely fat and thin figures, while the last book depicts the human
figure in motion and treats of foreshortennings. Dürer's work is the
first attempt to apply anthropometry to aesthetics. The woodcuts
represent the first attempt to employ cross-hatching to depict shades
and shadows in wood engraving.
