Al-Qabisi (Alcabitius): The Introduction to Astrology: v. 2 (Warburg Institute Studies & Texts) - Tapa blanda
Reseña del editor:
In late 10th-century Aleppo, Al-Qabisi wrote a concise introduction to the craft of the judgements of the stars, drawing upon a wide range of Greek, Indian, Persian and Arabic sources. John of Seville's twelfth-century Latin translation led to "Alcabitius's" work becoming the standard introduction to astrology in Western Europe. This new book gives the first critical editions of the Arabic and Latin texts with an annotated English translation. It also includes: catalogues of all the manuscripts of the known medieval versions of the work and of the Renaissance editions of the Latin text; a citation of the work in Byzantine Greek; an edition of another astrological work, On the Conjunctions of the Planets, attributed in Latin to Alcabitius, and comprehensive Arabic-Latin and Latin-Arabic glossaries. This book should provide the foundation for any future study of al-Qabisi/Alcabitius and his influence.

The reputation of this text in the Islamic world was such that: according to the biographer, al-Bayhaqi (ca. 1106-74), it «ranked among the works on the stars like Hamasa among Arabic poetry». The Latin text received several commentaries, and was, in turn, translated into several of the European vernaculars. The present critical edition contains the Arabic text of the Introduction and the translation into English as well as the Latin versions of the original manuscripts.

The Latin text received several commentaries, and was, in turn, translated into several of the European vernaculars. In the universities where astrology was taught (often as part of the curriculum in medicine), the Introduction was the first, and often the only, set text. Along with ?Albumasar?, ?Alcabitius? became a household name as an authority in astrology. The present critical edition contains the Arabic text of the Introduction and the translation into English as well as the Latin versions of the original manuscripts.
