Liber Albumazarus (Liber astrologiae), which has been translated into Latin from the Persian by an otherwise unknown author, named Georgius Zothorus Zaparus Fendulus. He describes himself as a sacerdotus (a 'priest' or 'cleric'), philosopher and courtier.
The author's prologue begins with an account of how he came upon the current text during his travels through Babylon and Persia, having already translated numerous texts from Persian and Syriac into Latin. He claims to have translated it from the Persian and Indian languages into Latin.
The text itself opens with a very brief summary of the basic astronomical and astrological knowledge that one might need in order to understand the structure of the cosmos, including a discussion of the planets and their orbs, of the 1022 stars and of the 48 constellations into which the Ancients arranged the stars into recognisable figures from their own mythologies. Fendulus also presents a series of astrological concepts, such as the different qualities that the twelve signs of the zodiac possess and bring to bear on events on Earth.
