Works of Sahl & Masha'allah
Sahl bin Bishr (Zahel) and Masha'allah were two of the most influential medieval astrologers from the Arabic period. In this book, Dr. Benjamin Dykes translates 16 of their most important works--many of them for the first time in any modern language! This essential work in medieval astrology includes many charts and lengthy introductory remarks and explanations by the translator.Later astrologers, including Guido Bonatti, were inspired by and borrowed from Sahl's and Masha'allah's works on basic principles and judgments, horary, elections, predictive techniques, nativities, and mundane astrology. In this book you may compare the horary methods of Sahl and Masha'allah, learn elections and mundane astrology from these early medieval masters, study unusual techniques on finding hidden objects or discovering a client's intention, learn the relationship between detriment and corruption, see connections between Dorotheus and Sahl, and much more. It is a critical text for all students of traditional astrology.
