'''Censorinus'''. The compiler of a treatise entitled *De Die Natali, which treats of the generation of man, of his natal hour, of the influence of the stars and genii upon his career, and discusses the various methods employed for the division and calculation of time, together with sundry topics connected with astronomy, mathematics, geography, and music. Contains much valuable information on the various systems of ancient chronology. The work is dedicated to Q_. Cerellius, whom the writer addresses as his patron and benefactor, and was composed in the year 238 a.d., in the consulship of Ulpius and Pontianus. Censorinus speaks of Rome as the “ communis patria ” of himself and Cerellius. This is about all that is known of him and of his work. The latter contains a number of very interesting facts and theories about nature and man, and suggestive hints betraying at least some degree of occult knowledge.
The editio princeps is in 4to., and without date, place, or printer’s name; the second ed. appeared at Bologna, fol., 1497; the first critical ed. is that by Vinetus, Pictav. 4to., 1568, followed by those of Aldus Manutius, Venet. 8vo., 1581, and Carrio, Lutet. 8vo., 1583. The most complete and valuable is that by Havercamp, Lug. Bat. 8vo., 1743.
