The <i>Great Introduction to Astrology</i> by Abū Maʿšar (2 vols.) de Keiji Yamamoto †

The <i>Great Introduction to Astrology</i> by Abū Maʿšar (2 vols.): Islamic Philosophy, Theology and Science. Texts and Studies, cartea 106

Editat de Keiji Yamamoto †, Charles Burnett
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 apr 2019
Abū Ma’͑šar’s Great Introduction to Astrology (mid-ninth century) is the most comprehensive and influential text on astrology in the Middle Ages. In addition to presenting astrological doctrine, it provides a detailed justification for the validity of astrology and establishes its basis within the natural sciences of the philosophers. These two volumes provide a critical edition of the Arabic text; a facing English translation, which includes references to the divergences in the twelfth-century Latin translations of John of Seville and Hermann of Carinthia (Volume 1); and the large fragment of a Greek translation (edited by David Pingree). Comprehensive Arabic, English, Greek and Latin glossaries enable one to trace changes in vocabulary and terminology as the text passed from one culture to another. (Volume 2.)

Recenzii

"Editors K. Yamamoto & Charles Burnett enable one to trace changes in vocabulary and terminology as the text passed from one culture to another. There lies the significant contribution of the edition: to the early history of science and intercultural exchanges between Islamic-Arabian and Latin West." Nicholas A. E. Kalospyros, in Journal of Oriental and African Studies

"It is an enormous and very complete book of vast knowledge about this great learned man Abū Ma῾šar in an indispensable text edition, made by three distinguished scholars." Lourus S. Filius, in Bibliotheca Orientalis 78/1-2 (Januari-April 2021)
