4to (156 x 216 mm). 60 ff. With woodcut printer's device to title-page and below colophon and several woodcut diagrams in the text. 19th century half vellum over marbled boards with giltstamped spine labels. Excessively rare edition of two works by the Persian-born Baghdadi astrologer Umar ibn al-Farrukhan al-Tabari (762-812 CE): his "Book on Nativities" and his "Abridgement of the Caesarean Interrogations". The former is "a short treatise on genethlialogy preserved in Arabic in only one manuscript" (DSB), namely in the Escorial. It enjoyed some popularity in the Latin tradition since the translation by Johannes Hispalensis; the present version is credited to the Jewish "magister Salomo" (fol. 20v). The work contains "predictions on nativities through formal rules [and] pure astrology" and remains significant to scholarship "for the numerous quotations from Dorotheus and Mâshâ'allâh; those from al-Qabi'si (d. 967) and al-Battani (fl. 900) must be interpolations. [. It was] repeatedly quoted by Arabic and Latin writers, and esteemed second only to the work of Mâshâ'allâh and of Abu Ma'shar. One point of value was probably the presentation of the doctrines of Dorotheus" (Carmody). - This edition, prepared by the famed Italian astrologer Luca Gaurico (1475-1558), further includes similar works by Ali Ibn Abi al-Rijal (Abenragel's "De revolutionibus nativitatum") and George of Trebizond ("De antisciis & cur astrologorum iudicia plerumque fallant"), as well as "De fridariis seu temporaria potestate planetarum", the "Decenniorum decreta" of Julius Firmicus Maternus, and "Annue menstrue ac diurne progressiones Apheticorum quinque locorum". - A previous Venetian edition dated 1515, on which the present one is supposedly based, could not be traced and may be fictitious, though it is referred to by Houzeau & Lancaster and Carmody. Indeed, the 1525 edition is itself exceedingly scarce: auction records list only two other copies on the market, both at Sotheby's (in 1952 and before that in 1919, at the Walter James Leighton sale). - Title-page and final leaf a little browned from moisture, with a few holes in the paper of the last leaf (not loss to text). An early 20th century Italian pencil annotation on the flyleaf erroneously attributes the work to Omar Khayyam. - Title-page shows faded manuscript ownership of Giovanni Antonio Antonini from the second half of the 16th century, possibly belonging to the Italian physician of that name known to have practised in Poland at the court of King Sigismund II Augustus (cf. Daugnon, Gli Italiani in Polonia II, 253). Also, an early 19th century Italian library stamp of the "Pubblica Libreria di Parma". - Edit 16, CNCE 54768. Renouard, Suppl., p. XXVI, no. 87. Houzeau/L. 3817. Camerini, Annali dei Giunti, no. 304. OCLC 1006151185. Not in BM-STC Italian or Adams. Cf. DSB XIII, 538f. and GAL S I, 392, 1e for 'Umar's works; Carmody, p. 39 (1515 edition); Rosenthal, Bibl. mag. et pneum. 3481 (1503 Sessa edition of the Nativities).…
