The ZODIAC project is launching a public web interface for its digital ZODIAC glossary

01.01.2026 - 01.12.2026

The project "ZODIAC - Ancient Astral Science in Transformation" (ERC, FU Berlin) is launching a new public web interface for its digital ZODIAC glossary,

https://zodiacglossary.github.io/

The lemmatized, cross-linked, cross-cultural glossary contains astronomical and astrological terminology from the ancient world (ca. 400 BCE - 300 CE) in Akkadian, Egyptian, Greek, and Latin, as well as some lemmata in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Sanskrit.

The new interface, developed by Kieran Meinhardt, offers both basic and advanced search tools, including an option to generate a customized pdf glossary with selected lemmata.

The old website at https://zodiac.fly.dev remains operational and contains the same data.

The content of the glossary, and some unfinished features, such as lemma categories, continue to be updated and corrected.
