About this record
- Content
Chapter on making astrological judgments based on comets allegedly drawn from the works of Ptolemy (بطلميوس, here بطليموس, Claudius Ptolemaeus, d. ca AD 168) and Indian sources.
This text is numbered 15 (يه) in the present collection.
Begins (f. 154r, lines 2-5):
... قالو (!) إذا ظهر في برج
الحمل دل على الهلاك في الملوك والرؤساء واستعلى
الأشرار والسفلة وأصاب ملك الروم آفة عظيمة
واضطراب في ملكه وقحط بالترك وشدة عظيمة بالحجاز
Ends (f. 157r, lines 8-12):
... وكثر الخوف في أكثر الأقاليم وغزارة الأمطار وفي المغرب وكثرة هموم
الناس ووقوع الطواعين والموت سيما بنواحي
المغرب وبلادها ومضرة النساء وكثرة الأمطار
والله أعلم وأحكم بالصواب
