About this item

Content

Handbook on making astrological judgments based on the rising of Sirius (الشعرى).

As with the first item (ff. 3r-18r) in the present manuscript, this text belongs to the genre of Islamicate occult scientific literature known as the pseudo-Aristotelian Hermetica, which takes its name from the fact that it is made up of texts purporting to be accounts of the teachings of Hermes (هرمس) on various subjects transmitted by Aristotle (أرسطاطاليس) sometimes, although not explicitly here, for the benefit of his pupil Alexander the Great. The beginning of the text (transcribed below) states that it is by Hermes, was translated 'from the ancient language' (من اللسان القديم) by 'Nuqṭawayh (vocalisation uncertain) the sage' (نقطويه الحكيم) and was subsequently extracted from the Treasured Book on Secrets (الكتاب المخزون في الأسرار) by Aristotle.

This text is numbered 6 (و) in the present collection.

Begins (f. 68v, lines 3-9):

قال هرمس الهرامسة وهو إدريس النبي عليه

السلام في الحكم عند طلوع الشعرى وما لها من الجودات

التي تكون في العالم في كل سنة مما علمه الله تعالى إياه

وأنبأه نقله نقطويه الحكيم من اللسان القديم

واستخرجه أرسطاطاليس من الكتاب المخزون

في الأسرار وصح نقله نقطويه الحكيم وصدقه

فيما نقله ...

Ends (f. 89r, lines 6-8):

... وأكثر هذه الآفات بإقليم الحوت وفي

مثله فانظر في أي خمس من أجماس الحوت يكون

فاحكم عليه من بلاد كوكب ذلك الخمس والله اعلم بغيبه
