Skyscript Astrology Forum

I've just finished to translate in English a chapter of Hermes about Moon Mansions.
It's from a Spanish manuscript of 13th century kept at Vatican Library (bookshelf Vat. Reg. 1283).
For every mansion I have listed corresponding stars, as given by one of the most important scholars about star names, Paul Kunitzsch.

The file could be downloaded at http://heavenastrolabe.altervista.org/mansions.html

In fact I became mad to have a coloured background for my pdf!

Thanks for your kind words, I hope it will be of some interest. The codex comes from the same entourage of Picatrix but it has never been translated in English.

Superb!

...take care that the hour ruler, the Moon and the Mansion are in agreement, and that the ruler of the Ascendant and the ruler of the Midheaven are helping you in everything you will do with Moon Mansions.

This would appear to refer to a variation of radicality and is worthy of some attention.

This could be, unfortunately the text does not mention how we should impute planets to mansions.
In some medieval codex (quoted by C.Burnett) planets are imputed to Moon mansions by facie order according Hindu, i.e. Mars, Sun, Jupiter for Aries and so on...
This is the same order used by Albumasar for liber VI of Great Introduction. so it makes sense to me, it should be of common use in Middle Ages.
