On Talismans, probably written in Baghdad in the late ninth century, was the most authoritative medieval text on the procedure for making talismans that depended for their efficacy on the natural influences of the stars. The Genizah manuscripts also include the first nine talismans of the On the Images on the Decans of the Signs attributed to Ptolemy, a work which forms a natural complement to Thabit\u2019s text and is therefore included in this edition. Editions of the major excerpts of, and quotations from, these two texts in Hebrew, Arabic and Greek, have been added, and the Latin translation of another (lost) Arabic version of Thabit\u2019s text \u2013 the Liber prestigiorum Thebidis \u2013 made by Adelard of Bath, completes the volume. Adelard\u2019s version adds elements of ceremonial magic (including prayers to spiritual forces) to the effects of the stars. The texts edited here are essential sources for our knowledge of the theory and practice of astrological talismans in the Middle Ages and early modern period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This book contains a reconstruction of Thabit ibn Qurra\u2019s On  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":257720,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[72368,72365],"product_tag":[],"editore":[27606],"autore":[68327],"curatore":[],"condizione":[26342],"lingua":[24186],"tipo_edizione":[],"tipo_pubblicazione":[24232],"dewey":[70258,25452],"genere":[],"contenuto":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-316680","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-ancient-and-medieval-history","7":"product_cat-philosophy-metaphysics-logic-ethics","8":"editore-sismel-edizioni-del-galluzzo","9":"autore-burnett-charles","10":"condizione-new","11":"lingua-multilingua-en","12":"tipo_pubblicazione-monograph","13":"dewey-medieval-history","14":"dewey-philosophy-psychology","16":"first","17":"instock","18":"shipping-taxable","19":"purchasable","20":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Thabit ibn Qurra &#8220;On Talismans&#8221;
