Notes
Treatise on making astrological judgments based on the arrival of each of the seven planets in each of the twelve signs of the zodiac. A marginal note to the left of the title, perhaps by the hand of the main scribe, claims that the text is an extract 'from the judgments of Muḥyī al-Dīn al-Maghribī' (from the rulings of Muḥy al-Dīn al-Maghribī). This author may be identified as Muḥyī al-Dīn Abū ʻAbd Allāh Yaḥyá ibn Muḥammad al-Maghribī al-Andalusī (Muhyi al-Din Abu Abdullah Yahya ibn Muhammad al-Maghribi al-Andalusi, d. 1283), known as Ibn Abī al-Shukr (Ibn Abi al-Shukr), who wrote a number of works on astrological judgments (see Comes, 'Ibn Abī al-Shukr: Muḥyī al-Milla wa'l-Dīn Yaḥyá Abū ʻAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn Abī al-Shukr al-Maghribī al-Andalusī [al-Qurṭubī]', in The Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers, ed. by Thomas Hockey et al., pp. 548-49 and Rosenfeld and Ihsanoğlu, Mathematicians, Astronomers, and Other Scholars of Islamic Civilization and Their Works (7th-19th c.), no. 635, pp. 226-27.
This text is numbered 8 (h) in the present collection.
Beginnings (f. 94r, lines 2-4):
If Saturn is in Aries, harm will come
To the great people of Iraq, and to the people of the East, and to be generous
Gold, silver, and the occurrence of death in the Romans...
Ends (f. 110r, line 12 to edge margin):
If it falls in the sign of Pisces, it indicates frequent death and epidemics
In the southern regions, the air is good and may tend to dry
During the return, there will be many clouds and the weakness of the kings and great men
