The importance of Sahl
and Masha'allah
Sahl bin Bishr and
Masha'allah were key early figures in medieval astrology (ca. 750-850
AD) as it transitioned from the Greek and Persian period into the Arabic-Latin
period. Much of what we recognize as medieval astrology comes directly
from the works translated here! Later astrologers, including Guido Bonatti,
were inspired by and liberally borrowed from Sahl's and Masha'allah's
works on basic principles and judgments, horary, elections, predictive
techniques, nativities, and mundane astrology. In this book you will be
able to compare the horary methods of Sahl and Masha'allah, learn elections
and mundane astrology from these early medieval masters, study unusual
techniques on finding hidden objects or discovering a client's intention,
learn the relation between detriment and corruption, see connections between
Dorotheus and Sahl, and much more. It is a critical text for all students
of traditional astrology.
