Description
It is well known that medieval Europe owes most of its scientific learning to the translations of Arabic treatises made in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The earliest Arabic infiltrations in Latin science are however much older. They can be traced back to the tenth century and to the making, in Catalonia, of a large corpus of astrological treatises: the Alchandreana. Based mainly on Arabic sources, but also on Hebrew and Latin sources, the Alchandreana constitute an exceptional testimony of cross-cultural exchanges between Christian, Arabic and Jewish scholars before the turn of the first millenium. This book offers a historical study, a technical analysis and a critical edition of the whole corpus.

"Dieses magnum opus gehoert in jede historische Bibliothek, weil es wegen der serioesen Grundlagenarbeit in der kulturgeschichtlichen Forschung vermuetlich grosse Wrkung entfalten wird"Uta Lindgren, Deutsches Archiv fuer Erforschung des Mittelalters. 65,1 (2009), 255-256.
"Desormais, cette somme remarquable viendra remplacer definitivement, dans les notes bibliographiques de la litterature aux 'experimental sciences', toutes les petites contributions ou hypotheses prudentes sur l'identite d'Alchandreus et de tous ses avatars."
Isabelle Draelants, Belgisch Tijdschrift voor Filologie en Geschiedenis 3-4 (2008) 873-876.
''Un livre qui demontre, s'il en etait besoin, la maniere dont l'erudition dans des domaines en apparence inattendus peut faire progresser la connaissance historique d'un grand pas."
