The Great Introduction to Astrology by Abū Maʿšar (2 vols.)
Abū Ma’͑šar’s Great Introduction to Astrology (mid-ninth century) is the most comprehensive and influential text on astrology in the Middle Ages. In addition to presenting astrological doctrine, it provides a detailed justification for the validity of astrology and establishes its basis within the natural sciences of the philosophers. These two volumes provide a critical edition of the Arabic text; a facing English translation, which includes references to the divergences in the twelfth-century Latin translations of John of Seville and Hermann of Carinthia (Volume 1); and the large fragment of a Greek translation (edited by David Pingree). Comprehensive Arabic, English, Greek and Latin glossaries enable one to trace changes in vocabulary and terminology as the text passed from one culture to another. (Volume 2.)

Ancient Arabic Astrology is a valuable book that designates and explains an ancient esoteric mystery tradition of foretelling that has been shrouded in mystery to most of the world. Arabic astrology is still quite unknown astrology, despite its antiquity. It's based, above all, on the idea that there are opportunities offered to us from our birth to our advancement in life, and in the study of our real abilities, of our character, one can foretell the future.In recent years, the circumstances somewhat have changed, and a new passion has emerged in Arabic astrology and esoterics. Sadly, most of the literature concerning Arabic astrology came in a deformed and incomplete view of Arabic Astrology. A view that reduced the vastness of Arabic astrology signs to a mere date of the birth sign. In doing so it neglected most of what is peculiar to Arabic Astrology and which differentiates it from Chinese and western astrology.

A History of Arabic Astronomy
A History of Arabic Astronomy is a comprehensive survey of Arabic planetary theories from the eleventh century to the fifteenth century based on recent manuscript discoveries. George Saliba argues that the medieval period, often called a period of decline in Islamic intellectual history, was scientifically speaking, a very productive period in which astronomical theories of the highest order were produced. Based on the most recent manuscript discoveries, this book broadly surveys developments in Arabic planetary theories from the eleventh century to the fifteenth. Taken together, the primary texts and essays assembled in this book reverse traditional beliefs about the rise and fall of Arabic...
Greek Thought, Arabic Culture
With the accession of the Arab dynasty of the 'Abbasids to power and the foundation of Baghdad, a Graeco-Arabic translation movement was initiated, and by the end of the tenth century, almost all scientific and philosophical secular Greek works that were available in late antiquity had been translated into Arabic. This book explores the social, political and ideological factors operative in early 'Abbasid society that sustained the translation movement.
The Arabic Influences on Early Modern Occult Philosophy
Investigating the impact of Arabic medieval astrological and magical theories on early modern occult philosophy, this book argues that they provided a naturalistic explanation of astral influences and magical efficacy based on Aristotelian notions of causality.
