*** Uncommon work against the judiciary astrology. Montanary was an influencial astronomer and lecturer in Bologna e Padova. His work was strongly influenced by the ‘Disputationes adversus astrologiam divinatricem’ by Giovanni Pico della Mirandola and contributed to esclude the study of astrology from the universities.
