Six Astrological Treatises by Masha'allah Paperback – December 16, 2009

Great book, I found what I needed.

I got this book because I have Holden's translations of Morinus and they are generally excellent. Unfortunately, his translations of Masha'allah are far inferior. The first text ON RECEPTIONS is not especially intelligible in Holden's translation. He appears not to been able to put into English the ideas that Masha'allah was trying to convey. His English is often confusing and and leave the reader at a loss for the meaning of the passage. Holden does better with those texts of Masha'allah that are more descriptive and less conceptual. If you are looking for conceptual understanding, I would avoid this translation and instead look to the works of Hand or Dykes, who have also translated texts by Masha'allah.
