Notes	Hermes is the name of a Greek god. He is known to the Romans as mercurims, and he is Mercury to the Arabs. The ancient Egyptians claim that he is the same god as Thoth, and they attribute to him the invention of all science (Fouad Sayyid’s footnote to Tabaqat Ibn Jaljal, p. 5). Nelino mentions in his book Medieval Astronomy, p. 142, that Hermes was a legendary Egyptian sage who did not exist... and among them were those who said that he was Enoch mentioned in the Torah, and among them were those who said that he was Idris, and among them were those who distinguished between the three Hermes, the first, the second, and the third, and attributed to the third several books on the rulings on astrology, alchemy, and magic. Perhaps the owner of the aforementioned manuscript was Hermes III. On one of the pages of this copy, he wrote an excerpt in which it was said that Abu Ishaq al-Sabi presented an astrolabe to Adad al-Dawla during one of the festivals and sent with it these verses: I present to you the builders of the properties and work hard *** in a new festival, you will perform it. But when your servant Abraham saw the transcendence of your destiny over something so insignificant. He was not satisfied with the earth to give it to you, but he gave you the highest ark and everything in it.
Sample Text	Praise be to God, and may God’s blessings and peace be upon the best of His creation, Muhammad, the Chosen One, and his family, and grant them peace. This is the Book of Foundations, which is what is called the eighty-five chapters in grammar books, and it is Hermes’s favorite book. Hermes used to call this book the Book of the Great... and he says... I found the eighty-five chapters from it, so all the scholars extracted from it judgments for every scholar according to the extent of his knowledge and according to the extent of his understanding of the book. In order to understand this book, it is the key to the knowledge of astrology.
