This is a Latin translation made in the mid-12th century of a lost
Arabic astrological text on nativities and anniversaries, probably
by Masha'allah (762-c.815). The Latin text, the work of Hugo of
Santalla, who was in the entourage of Michael, Bishop of Tarazona,
in 1145, sheds light on the early stage of Arabic astrology in
Baghdad, which was based on Greek and Middle Persian sources, and
it includes a bibliography of these sources. This work provides
English translations of the parallel passages based on
Masha'allah's text - the "Book of Nativities" of Sahl b. Bishr. The
book concludes with an index of the sources mentioned and a
comprehensive word index.
