Liber de nativitatibus & interrogationibus. [colophon:] Venice, J. B. Sessa, March 26, 1503. Small 4to, 1 (b.) + 63p + 1 + 1 l(b.), with a fine, large allegorical woodcut, and Sessa's cat and mouse device on title, one woodcut diagram, and several tables; old Russian library stamp of the Imperial Library on title and two further leaves; 19th century green glazed paper boards, joints starting. The very rare first edition of the major independents works of Umar al-Tabari, on genethlialogy and astrological interrogations, and the only works of his to be translated into Latin and published in the West. They were "repeatedly quoted by Arabic and Latin writers, and esteemed second only to the work of Mashallah and Albumasar. One point of value was probably the presentation of the doctrines of Dorotheus [of Sidon]" (Carmody). The Arabic version of Dorotheus was due to Omar Tiberiadis. The allegorical woodcut shows Jupiter enthroned presiding over Satrun and Mars, surrounded by clouds, the signs of the zodaic interspersed in the design, the sun and the moon in the top corners. Sezgin, VII, pp. 111-13. Adams O171; Carmody pp. 38-9; Essling 1378; Houzeau & Lancaster 3817 ("tres rare"); Lalande p. 31; Sander 5181; NUC records only one location, University of Arizona, Tucson.

Venise, Otnus de Luna, Papiensis Folio 104pp, 2 columns in each page, 68 or 69 lines, partial damage to the last two pages , upper part of spine chipped 17th century Vellum, Hieronymus Surianus 10 january 1497 An extreemly rare edition of incunable work of islamic medicine of the XII century. Abu Marwan Abdul Malik Ibn Zuhr (1113- 62 or 1199) was known to mediaeval Europe as Avenzoar and Abhomeron, and came of an illustious Arabian family who setteled in spain earlyin the tenth century. he was born at sevilee. and studied medicine by his father (who held the Ca"nn of Avecenna in small esttem) and achieved great fame as a physician in spain & North Africa. One of the Foremost thinkers of islam, he was opposed to astrology and medicine mysticism; the mysticism tha he was opposed to may be said to have survived until recent times. and his exemplified in the dying decleration of a vererinary surgeon who when pressed for the secret of his success in surgery said; " i biles my tools" Avnzoar who took a great intrest in materia medica and pharmacy, was opposed to logical distinctions" (Donald Campbell " Arabian Medicine and its infuluance on the Middle ages" pp 90-91) "Ibn Zuhr was the first to write acareful description of mediastinal abcess from which he probably suffered. He describes pericarditis, both wet and dry, and diffrentiates them from other lung conditions. while in jail he wrote a careful description of cancer of the stomach from wich his cell mate was suffering" (kahairallah, A." outline of Arabic contributions to medicine" pp 126) Ibn Zuhr's works were translated to latin and were printed repeatedly. His great influance over medieval Europe is seen from his great influance over Arnold of villanova and from his adoption as a text-book in the universities of Europe for several centures.
