Abū Ma'shar's famous Great Introduction to traditional astrology was a major influence on medieval astrologers through its Latin versions, and is available and explained to modern audiences in this new translation from the Arabic original. Written in the early 800s during the Golden Age of the 'Abbāsid Caliphate in Baghdad, the Great Introduction falls into two parts. Books I-IV present a theory of astrology and its primary concepts in the language of Aristotelian philosophy, including a lengthy defense of astrology. Books V-VIII contain numerous lists and descriptions of sign categories, planetary conditions, and planetary configurations. Book VII describes how to judge elemental combinations in planetary conjunctions, and Book VIII contains Abū Ma'shar's classic list of Lots and how to interpret them. The Great Introduction is a landmark in astrological history, and is a must-have for practitioners and historians.

Lynn Thorndike's monumental work, "History of Magic and Experimental Science (Vol. 1&2)," meticulously charts the intricate evolution of magical practices and experimental science from antiquity through the Renaissance. Thorndike employs a scholarly yet accessible narrative style, seamlessly blending detailed historical accounts with critical analysis of the philosophical underpinnings that shaped early scientific thought. The comprehensive two-volume set delves into the intersections of superstition, alchemy, and the burgeoning rationalism of the period, contextualizing magic not merely as folly but as a vital component of the intellectual landscape that eventually led to modern science. An esteemed historian of science, Lynn Thorndike was profoundly influenced by the intellectual currents of the early 20th century, which were marked by a growing interest in the scientific revolution and its origins. His extensive academic background and commitment to uncovering the complexities of medieval and early modern thought culminated in this exhaustive exploration. Thorndike's rigorous scholarship is evident in the breadth of his research, meticulously sourcing texts and traditions that illuminate the symbiotic relationship between magic and science. "History of Magic and Experimental Science" is an essential read for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the roots of scientific inquiry. This work not only enriches our understanding of historical epistemologies but also invites readers to reevaluate the cultural significance of magic in shaping scientific paradigms, making it a pivotal study for those dedicated to exploring the interplay between superstition and rational thought.

In 1143 Robert of Ketton produced the first Latin translation of the Qur’an. This translation, extant in 24 manuscripts, was one of the main ways in which Latin European readers had access to the Muslim holy book. Yet it was not the only means of transmission of Quranic stories and concepts to the Latin world: there were other medieval translations into Latin of the Qur’an and of Christian polemical texts composed in Arabic which transmitted elements of the Qur’an (often in a polemical mode). The essays in this volume examine the range of medieval Latin transmission of the Qur’an and reaction to the Qur’an by concentrating on the manuscript traditions of medieval Qur’an translations and anti-Islamic polemics in Latin. We see how the Arabic text was transmitted and studied in Medieval Europe. We examine the strategies of translators who struggled to find a proper vocabulary and syntax to render Quranic terms into Latin, at times showing miscomprehensions of the text or willful distortions for polemical purposes. These translations and interpretations by Latin authors working primarily in twelfth- and thirteenth-century Spain were the main sources of information about Islam for European scholars until well into the sixteenth century, when they were printed, reused and commented. This volume presents a key assessment of a crucial chapter in European understandings of Islam.
