Register or Login to view.Given that works of both Plato and Ptolemy (the latter having written about Hipparchus) were being translated into Latin around 1406 in Florence, i think it reasonable to consider the possibility, especially since the progression to nomadic nakedness fits with that idea.
Plato is often credited as a source by "cyclologists" as if his Great Year (cycle of sun, moon and five planets returning to their position) had anything to do with precession. Ptolemy and successors could have theorized about zodiacal precessional ages but apparently did not. If anyone did, in Europe, I'd like to see the evidence. There is maybe something about Dionysius Exiguus: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
The theory of 6 ages of 1000 years, after Augustine Hipponensis, was "widely believed and in use throughout the Middle Ages". You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
Mme Blavatsky (and later esotericists) popularized the zodiacal precessional ages in the late 19th century, based on late 18th century publications by Charles-François Dupuis and Constantin Volney.
Nakedness, in the past, outside of the Garden of Eden and remote southern countries, does not seem to be a medieval concept either.
