  • Destiny and liberty in the Mathematicus of Bernard Silvestrus. This paper attemps to reveal a problem that worried a lot to people who dealed with astrological themes in antiquity. Can human being challenge a prediction by committing suicide? Patricida's story, which remembers Oedipus, tries to point out the complexity of reponse. But human being always has the last possibility to elude the rum of events by imposing his will on star's destiny: this is the Mathematicus's lesson in conformity with the chartrian humanism.
