Marcello Stellato, in Latin Marcellus Palingenius, the author of the book Zodiacus vitae is believed to be the Neapolitan poet Stellatus (born ca. 1500 - died in Cesena before 1551).
Zodiacus vitae is a Latin poem divided into 12 books, one for each sign of the zodiac, first published in Venice in 1536, and dedicated to Ercole II d'Este, duke of Ferrara. The didactic 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.
It was translated into several languages, but fell under the ban of the Inquisition on the ground of its rationalising tendencies. In 1551. After Stellato's death, the Catholic Church burned his heretical bones and Pope Paul IV placed his book in the first Index Librorum Prohibitorum, ("Index of Prohibited Books"), in 1559.
Palingenius, with his astrological, alchemistic and occult attitude, was required to be read in certain schools. While the schools of the sixteenth and seventeenth century were classical in aim, the range of reading was wider than in classical schools of the present time. Thus not infrequently the Astronomicon of Manilius and the astrological parts of Ptolemy found their way into the studies of the scholar and even of the schools. In the private school of Milton, Manilius' book, the chief of the detailed treatises on astrology, in ancient Rome, was one of the authors read. J. A. Comenius, the great educational reformer, in his Janua Linguarum and his Orbis pictus belongs to the old school in his astrological implications. For him, astronomy " considereth the motion of the stars : astrology the effect of them." He then deals with the " aspects of the planets."
Advocates of the thesis that the aim of the school is the adaptation of the curriculum to the current culture of the age will be interested to see that in the sixteenth century our ancestors were thus quite logical in bringing occult suggestions into the school.
Palingenius, however, was no vulgar alchemist or astrologer. He is characterised by a keen desire to arrive at a right spiritual application of all physical theories. He occupies a position which bears some analogy to that occupied by the late Professor Henry Drummond in connecting physical with spiritual thought in his Natural Law in the Spiritual World. In other words, he emphasizes the unity of all knowledge, physical and spiritual.
