[1] The heart of this book comprises a modern typeset edition of a manuscript entitled: Augustini de Tridento O. E. S. A. “Opusculum de Astrologia et Medicina” – In Universitate Perusiae, 1340; and a modern typeset edition of another manuscript edition of the same work, dated 1348. A lengthy modern study precedes them.

[4] But this copy was printed in 2014

[4a] According to Kim Farnell, this was a pseudonym used by the notable theosophist Alfred Percy Sinnett

[4b] The original edition of this book presenting astrological and numerological ideas in relation to horse racing. An abridged edition of 88 pages, without the tabulated data on active horses that fill the main appendix, was published in about the late 1920s

[4c] Known for his own much later book on horse-racing astrology, ‘Scientific Racing Up-to-Date’, q. v.. He would appear from this evidence to have acted as a bookseller or distributor for Habeeb’s book in the 1900s before it was transferred from Nichols to Foulsham

[5] A collection of eleven essays by different scholars including Hilary Carey and Dorian Gieseler Greenbaum

[5a] A series of publications collectively edited by Hans Daiber, in whose honour this festschrift is dedicated

[5b] A collection of 33 essays by different scholars, subdivided into sections headed Islamic Philosophy and Theology, History of Science, Cross-Cultural Transmissions of Arabic Philosophy and Science, and Language and Literature. The History of Science section includes an important essay by Charles Burnett spanning pp. 219-265, entitled Weather Forecasting, Lunar Mansions and a Disputed Attribution: the Tractatus pluviarum et aeris mutatinis and Epitome totius astrologiae of ‘Iohannes Hispalensis’.

[5c] A series of publications edited at this time by Han van Ruler, supported by an editorial board of six

[6] Comprises pp. 294-398 of the overall volume, and consists of an introduction, an English translation, and finally the Arabic source text. The source text is said to have been a part of a lost longer book by the author known as kitab al-mawalid (“book of the nativities”), but to have survived in the form of excerpts in the Majmu’aqawil al-hukama’ al-munajjimin of AbuSa’id Mansur ibn ‘Ali Bundar a-Damaghani, a text composed in 1113, and as a complete Latin translation in Book IV of the Liber Aristotilis of Hugo of Santalla (q.v.). The surviving Arabic excerpts are edited here

[7] A series of publications edited by Fuat Sezgin, in collaboration with M. Amawi, C. Ehrig-Eggert, and E. Neubauer

[8] In addition to the edition of Al-Andarzaghar, this volume contains nine studies by different scholars, including Paul Kunitzsch, Edward S. Kennedy and Gerrit Bos

[8a] ‘Edición de Ghedli Guesmi; Introducción, comentario y resumen de Chedli Guesmi y Julio Samsó’

[8b] A series of publications collectively edited at this time by Robert Halleux and Erwin Neuenschwander

[8c] This volume comprises an edition of the original Arabic text referred to in the title, together with a detailed commentary and summary in modern Spanish

[9] For the purposes of Dr. Sachau’s translation, Al-Biruni’s name is represented as ‘Abu-Alraihan Muhammad Ibn ‘Ahman Alberuni

[9a] A list of credits follows Sachau’s name in small print: Professor in the Royal University of Berlin, and Principal of the Seminary for Oriental Languages; Member of the Royal Academy of Berlin, and Corresponding Member of the Imperial Academy of Vienna; Honrary Member of the Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, London, and of the American Oriental Society, Cambridge, U.S.A.. This credit list is repeated on the title page of Volume II, q. v. below

[9b] The fourth LPP printing after those of 1989, 1993 and 1996, being a facsimile reproduction of the edition of 1910, which according to the matching pagination would appear to have been materially identical to the original 1888 edition, q. v. above

[10] The true first edition, distinguished by the navy blue cloth binding with gilt spine label, 2½ inch-thick page block, and hand-filled limitation notice

[11] Hardbound undeclared reprint of the above, distinguihed by black cloth binding with Arabic script printed in green on the rear board, thinner paper, and the lack of the original limitation page. Internally, the original title page specifying Luzac as the publisher is retained but in facsimile (thus inauthentically). Attributed speculatively by Worldcat records to Baghdad, 1970s (but may be earlier). It is not clear why pp. 65-72 are missing in this copy – this could be a binder’s error affecting just this copy or might be set in print and thus common to all copies of this edition, though the mis-binding of pp. 277 and 283 in each other’s places in this copy would suggest great carelessness in any case.

[12] A workmanlike monochrome facsimile reproduction of the original edition whose publication credits read: “Published for the Oriental Translation Fund of Great Britain & Ireland, by William H. Allen and Co., 13 Waterloo Place, Pall Mall, London, Publishers to the India Office, 1879”

[13] The translator is credited only on the copyright page, and the stated editor, who provides the main introduction, only on the title page. Series editor Joe Fallisi provides an additional, shorter introduction following that of Bezza.

[14] A translation of Al-Biruni’s Kitab tahqîq mâ li’l-Hind min maqbûla fi’l- ‘aql aw mardûla.

[17] A recent facsimile reprint of the above, with added copy of a lengthy review of the original book by G. J. Toomer, reprinted from Orientalia (Rome) N.S. 34, 1965

[18] Michael Scot’s translation is dated to 1217 by Carmody, who opines that the Arabic original was completed some time after 1185. He further notes that a Hebrew edition was prepared in 1259 by Moses ben Samuel ben Tibbon and itself gave rise to a derivative separate Latin translation by Calonymos ben David that was printed in Venice in 1531.

[19] An annotated English translation, primarily from the twelfth century Latin translation of Hugo of Santalla, although also with reference to another twelfth century Latin translation by Robert of Ketton. Al-Kindi’s text was originally composed in Arabic in the ninth century

[19a] The publisher and date of the first edition are not provided; this is believed to be the first thus

[20] An annotated English translation from the Latin edition entitled “De Radiis Stellicis”, as edited by M. T. D’Alverny and F. Hudry in Archives d’histoire doctrinale du Moyen Age, Vol. 41, 1974
