Nuremberg, Ioannes Montanus & Ulric Neuber, 1549. 1€l(b)+1tit.+1 +24+21+1 with woodcut border at head of title, large woodcut vignette on last leaf, woodcut initials, and diagrams in text; extensive contemporary annotations; modern vellum. The second edition (first 1546) of Abu Ali al-Khayyat's Kitab al-Mawalid as translated to Latin by Johannes Hispalensis (John of Seville). "[The author's] fame in mediaeval Europe stems from the K. al-Mawalid, a work on judicial astrology which also contains horoscopes for illness, frequent citations from Ptolemy and Hermes on the pars fortunae, etc. Two Latin translations were made of it, one by Plato of Tivoli (Plate Tiburtinus) at Barcelona in 1136, and the other by Seville in 1153; the latter translation was printed in Nuremberg (1546, 1549)" (EI) The translator, Johannes Hispalensis, was "the chief and most voluminous translator of astrological works from Arabic into Latin in the twelfth century. [His trnaslations] remained in use during the later middle ages and many of them appeared in print in early editions" (Thorndike, II, p. 73). Joachim Heller was a leading member of the circle of the celebrated Humanist and Reformer Philip Melanchthon, to whom the preface of this edition is Albohali is addressed. Heller explains Albohali's method, and states that the work is published from a manuscript which was once in the library of King Mathias of Hungary. El, IV, p. 1162; Sezgin, VII, pp. 120-21.
