RÉSUMÉ – Si les Astronomica de Manilius et les Matheseos libri de F. Maternus figurent parmi les sources de Pontano astrologue, cet article analyse comment cet humaniste tourna en apologie la polémique de Cicéron dans le De divinatione et commenta le Centiloquium du pseudo-Ptolémée en voyant dans l ’influence astrale la source de la divination naturelle et de l ’inspiration poétique. Un appendice offre une édition et une traduction italienne des livres I et IV de ce commentaire. ABSTRACT – If Manilius’ Astronomica and F. Maternus’ Matheseos libri are among the sources of Pontano’s astrology, this paper focuses on his turning Cicero’s polemics in De divinatione into an apology and examines the humanist’s commentary on pseudo- Ptolemy’s Centiloquium in which the astral influence is considered the source of both natural divination and poetic inspiration. An edition and an Italian translation of Pontano’s Commentaries on ps.-Ptolemy’s Centiloquium I and IV are given in appendix.
