MAZZAROTH;or, the CONSTELLATIONS and MIZRAIM; OR, ASTRONOMY OF EGYPT"Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season?" — Job 38:32by Frances Rolleston, 1862The ancients divided the heavens by forty-eight constellations, imaginary and arbitrary divisions, sometimes, but not always, comprising remarkable stars. Among the twelve signs, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Scorpio, and Virgo, have bright stars, leading the eye to fix on them as constellations, but the others have not; and would not be naturally distinguished as such. It is therefore evident that the distinction of the starry heavens into constellations, like the division of the earth into districts, is the world of man's imagination for his own purposes. In this case the purpose was to declare the glory of God. Orion, the Great Bear, Cassiopea, Lyra, the Southern Cross, and perhaps some others, have bright stars pointing them out, but the records of ancient astronomy only determine what minor stars are reckoned as belonging to them; for instance the serpentine emblems are so mingled with the others as to be complained of as causing confusion by those who did not see in them an intentional type of the works of the enemy as intricately interwoven with the destinies of man.

I've owned the printed Mazzaroth for years, but in spite of my familiarity with it, I find it difficult to use. The material is not well organized (Frances Rolleston admitted that), and to find everything concerning a particular topic means a lot of page turning. Now, however, Mazzaroth is a Kindle book! The print is much easier to read than the original, and that alone is worth a lot, but best of all for those serious about using the content, it is indexed and searchable!
This is a tremendous gift to the Church! I can hardly believe I am just now hearing of this wonderful and enriching work. To read Mrs. Rolleston's work is to realize that the Zodiac is the greatest work of art in human history because it is the inscribing in the fixed stars the whole prophecy of the Redemption of the world for the contemplation of all, from the time of Adam unto our own day! How grateful I am to know this!
The work is first rate - such incredible research was required to create this work. Greatly enjoyed learning the storyGOD himself has written in the stars for us.
Provides good Scripture information easy reading of the constellations. Helps to understand God's universe.
very informative
