Albumazar's 48 Constellations

by John P. Pratt

The ninth century astronomer Albumazar wrote a description of their 48 constellations arranged as 12 zodiac constellations, with each accompanied by three "decans". Because I know of no English translation of his Arabic work, I include here a photocopy of a Latin translation. It was made from the copy at the University of Utah.
