Nota:
A Latin poem in 12 books, one for each sign of the zodiac, first published in Basel in 1537. "The poem addresses the subject of human happiness in connection with scientific knowledge, and combines metaphysical speculation with satirical attacks on ecclesiastical hypocrisy, and especially on the Popes and Martin Luther". [wikipedia page for Pier Angelo Manzolli]
Pope Paul IV placed his book in the first Index Librorum Prohibitorum, ("Index of Prohibited Books"), in 1559.
