In this third volume of the series Abraham Ibn Ezra's Astrological Writings, Seal (Jewish philosophy, Bar-Ilan U.) presents the first critical edition, with English translation and commentary, of seven astrological texts by Ibn Ezra (1092-1167), a Jew who was raised and educated in the context of Arabic Spain. They cover three systems of astrology: elections--finding the best time to begin a particular activity, interrogations--answering questions related to daily life, and the astrological theory behind the doctrine of critical days when marked changes take place in the symptoms of a disease. Ibn Ezra himself thought the three were related, he says, both technically and because they were all a relief from the usual nativities and historical astrology. Extensive scholarly paraphernalia are provided, including separate English-Hebrew glossaries of technical terms for each of the three sets of documents.
