ALCHABITIUS [i.e. AL-QABISI, Abu Al-Saqr 'Abd Al-'Aziz Ibn 'Uthman Ibn 'Ali] (fl. c.950). Opus ad scrutanda stellarum magisterial isagogicum. Venice: Melchior Sessa & Petrus de Ravanis, 18 June 1521.
Small 4° (215 x 158mm). Sessa’s device on title, woodcut diagrams, large ornamental initials, with the blank h8. (Stain in lower margin of a1-a2, a few spots, 2 small closed wormholes in last lower margin of last 4 leaves, occasional very light thumb-soiling.) 19th-century green morocco (lightly rubbed).
This edition of the Al-madkhal ila sina'at ahkam al-nujum contains De planetarum coniunctionibus, a work which was once attributed to Alchabitius, translated into Latin by Joannes Hispalensis, and commented on by Joannes de Saxonia. However, this is probably not section four and five of the Madkhal as previously thought, since it does not seem to have been known to the two chief Arabic sources on al-Qabisi's life, al-Bayhaqi and Hajji Khalifa. This possibly spurious text was only previously published by Ratdolt in 1485. BL STC Italian, p.1; Adams A-24; Sander 223; Sarton I, 669.
