First published in Venice in 1536 and condemned as heretical by the Inquisition for its bold attacks on the Pope and clergy, the Zodiacus Vitae took its place on the first Index Prohibitorum of blacklisted texts in 1559 and the author's remains were exhumed and burned. Arranged in twelve books, one for each zodiacal sign, its consideration of the scientific and philosophical basis of human happiness was hugely popular across Protestant Europe. Ref. VD16 M-856
