De Imaginibus, On Images or more loosely; How to Make Astrological
Talismans, has been generally accepted as the work of Thabit Ibn Qurra, the 9th
century Harranian sage. It was translated into Latin in the twelfth century by
John of Seville, noted translator of astrological and astronomical works, as part
of the great medieval translation project that brought the intellectual riches of
the high Islamic culture of the Middle East, the inheritor of the classical Greek
tradition, into Europe. We are currently engaged in another great translation
project in which the fruits of the European esoteric tradition, long locked away
in Latin and in manuscripts, are being translated into the modern lingua franca
of English. This book is a small, but hopefully useful part of this new reception
of ancient esoterica. This translation of De Imaginibus was done from the Latin
critical edition of Francis Carmody, in The Astronomical Works of Thabit b.
Qurra (UCal Press, 1960) at 167-97 and includes two similar, but different
versions which Carmody referred to as Versions I & J. |
