About This Item
First edition of Ptolemy's Quadripartitum within this collection of classical astrological and astronomical tracts, edited by Hieronymus Salius.
Quadripartitum, Ptolemy's classical text on astrology, is considered the Bible of Astrology which seeks to find rational explanations for astrological doctrine. The text was printed first in Venice by Ratdolt in 1484, the present edition, entirely edited by Hieronymus Salius, is the second print of Ptolemy's tracts, and considerably enlarged by eleven further treatises of Hermes Trismegistus, Al Battani, Almanzor, Sahl ibn Bishr and Mashallah ibn Athari, most of them first printed here. Quadripartitum appears here in two Latin translations, the first attributed to Plato Tiburtinus, the second by Aegidius de Thebaldis, and it includes the extensive commentary by Haly Abenrudian (Ali ibn Ridwan, 988-1061).
Scarce on the market, three copies recorded on Rarebookhub within the last one hundred years.
