CORBETTA Gualterio

1)- introduction

He was born in Milan at the end of the 15th century by Innocenzo, whose family, originally from the Lombardy region of Corbetta, belonged to the nobility of Milan.After receiving a first humanist training, C. devoted himself to law studies, studying Andrea Alciato. In the works of Alciato, the name of C. returns with a certain frequency, like that of a disciple and a collaborator of confidence. Thus, Alciato calls it "utriusque nostrum amatissimus" in the dedication letter of his Contra vitamin monasticam to Bernardum Mattiam of 1514-1517 (Lugduni 1695), while in that of the books Pnaetermissorum, senator and jurist Iacopo Minuzio (Mediolani 1519 ) mentions him as a minor preacher for the Greek language and as "allevene nobilissimus et mihi commerce studiorum perquam carus" (Barni, 226). The result of this collaboration is an unprecedented commentary to the Aristophanes' Clouds, which Alciato translates from Greek into Latin verses, dedicated to Senator Milanese Minuzio Taegio. [...]C. also collected old codex and classic editions. In a letter to F. Calvo (Bourges, September 5, 1530), of Alciato, mentioning the trip that C. had just made to visit him and bring him news, mentions a "oratio Ciceronis in L. Pisoneni integrates ... quam opinor est editurus ", property of C. (Barni, p.121). As far as we know, this edition has not been published. [...]Meanwhile, C. graduated from law school and graduated with a law degree. In 1524, he was legally admitted to the Niyanese College of Jurors Consultants. The following year, as an official lecturer in Milan, he pronounced the funeral prayer in the church of S. Domenico in Naples for the death of Ferrante d'Avalos, the Marquis of Pescara (Giovio, p. ...] C. Worked actively as a member of the Board, as the speeches of members and the minutes of the meetings were retained and published. He himself delivered a speech for the assunzione at the College of GB Castiglioni, who came to the head of the Orationes VI pro co-optation at the Collegium Iurisconsultorum, published in Lyon in 1547 with the preface by G. Monti dedicated to G. Casati . The 7th week. In 1534, C. was appointed senator and, from 1535 to 1537, he became patrician magistrate of the Sixty decurions of Milan; As representative of the Eastern Gate, he was also assigned to the Ducal Chancellery. In politics, C. had a philosophical attitude, the most obvious indication being the funeral prayer which he pronounced in the cathedral for the death of Francis II Sforza in November 1535 (published, with devotion to Massimiliano Stampa, entitled Oratio lived in the funeral dictation Francisci II Sfortiae, sl 1535).After a brief mention of the misfortune that seems to persecute the Sforza family, C. has a brief history.
Despite political activity, C. still found time to devote himself to scholarly studies and eloquence, and to cultivate his high relationships. So it was in connection with the medical doctor Comasco F. Cigalini (Monti, 191), and in 1536 he and his colleague Sfondrato auna dined in Borromeo, where he assisted, probably intervening in favor of the first, in the discussion between Andrea Alciato and Paolo Giovio about some points in the history of the second.

C: he died still young in Milan in 1537.
He was lamented and praised by the Earl in an epigram still unpublished (Argelati, II, 462), while G. B. Schiafenati wrote in his memory a sobriety and comforting consolation for his brother, Ilarion. Of this, Benedictine monk, we know he took the vows on Feb. 24. 1515, he was a scholar of theology, philosophy, jurisprudence as well as classical literature, and wrote many works that have been lost or never published (Armellini, pp. 224-226). It is not to be attributed, however, to Kristeller's (Iter Italicum, II, p. 583) erroneously, the "Mediolanensium lithium to [Carolum V] for Corbetam compositae", which can be attributed to the activity of the well known panegirist.

It seems that Corbetta gives Cardano his own geniture.

'Horologij' seems to mean italic hours using dials. Unlike modern dials, Italic Time – also known as “Ave Maria” or “Italian Time” – has a single hand moving round the dial anti-clockwise and the 24th hour is not midnight but the hour of sunset, from which the counting of the hours starts. Therefore the clock must be adjusted throughout the year so that the last hour of the day is always the hour of sunset. In present case, the birth hour is 6 AM, june 13, 1495 (Gregorian).

• ASC CANCER, ruler MO (V, conj MA in SCORPIO) ;
• MC PISCES, ruler JU (IV) ; SA (X) SCORPIO

SU and MO can't be HYLEG.

• HYLEG : ASC
• ALCHOCODEN : MO
• ANAERETA : MA, SA

Morinus compute ALMUTEN :  JU. (with MA near). SU is weak (cadent house) and MO weak also.

- Betelgeuse (apparent conjonction with SU) dom Campanus 355° mundane conj with VE ( Interest in and ability for occult and mystical subjects, acute diseases, fevers, honor and preferment ending in final ruin. [Robson, p.147.]) ;

2)- rapt-parallels

In 1524, we have a carrier promotion : it coincides with the Rp MO || JU. 

- result

We see that for a low age, the results are rather homogeneous. We find Rp = 29.02° in Placidus (a result not very different from the Morinus software: 28.93 °). The table makes it possible to see the corresponding Rp for a given difference of domitude at a rapt-parallel for the ASC-DSC axis and the MC-IC axis. We have sometime to adjust with + 360° if necessary.

In 1535, we have another carrier promotion, with a Rp VE || JU. This is a converse Rp that is established on the MC / IC axis. D = 38.9 ° (Morinus indicates 36.01 °).

3)- directions

In 1535, we find in the natal chart of mundane directions a train characteristic of directions:
C SU opp MA
C MO opp SA
C SA # MO
Rp SU || SA

We see that the birth chart of Gualtiero Corbetta presented at the time of his death (1537), that is to say at 3:47 min of his birth (!) an impressive train of characteristic directions.  

a) Rp SU || SA

We have two Rp in 1535, in Campanus D = 38.24 ° and Placidus (D = 39.23 °).
recall: the table shows the set of parallels according to the ASC-DSC axis and the MC-IC axis; for the three main systems of houses (Campanus, Regio and Placidus); the method consists by first computing the mundane mid-point between promissor and significator; then computing the direction in AO with respect to the ASC or AR in relation to the MC. The corresponding longitudes are also computed; 'Fictitious' Rp have been developed which allow for statistical comparisons. For exemple, in this case, we have actually 3 Rp et 0 fictitious.

The fictitious Rp are computed with the AR, AO and Symbolic arcs. The key factors are the same that we used for the mundane et zodiacal directions.

b)- MO opp SA

- parameters

- results

We find 2  Placidus directions between opp SA and MO. And also 3 fictitious directions.

c)- SU opp MA

This direction is calculated by the opposition of Mars, for convenience (Placidus East).

The table above represents the summary of the results for a direction: it is SU opp MA; we see the number of aspects obtained in the method Regiomontanus and Campanus, in Placidus method and the corresponding Rapt-parallels in mundo.
recall : Gold means Goldmayer, cf. anterior section.
