| Summary: | There is a plaque in the foundation of the west towers of the cloister of Saint Mauritius in Niederaltaich, Germany, which shows a horoscope with Saturn at the Ascendent. To explain this astrologic inscription in an ecclesiastical setting, this article uses the theology and rhetoric of church foundation ceremonies, the approach of astrology, pre-reformation humanism, and the evolution of Saturn from a malific planet to the patron of creative genius. |
