Kennedy, Edward S. (Author)
Suhayl: Journal for the History of the Exact and Natural Sciences in Islamic Civilisation
Volume: 9
Pages: 13--148
This article presents the last major project that Edward S. Kennedy (1912- 2009) worked on towards the end of his long and productive life. Finished by three colleagues and former students, it gives a full edition with English translation of the astrological history of the Prophet and the early caliphate by al-Battani (ca. 900), which is extant in a unique manuscript in Ankara. The commentary includes definitions of most relevant astrological concepts, analyses and recomputations of the 21 horoscopes given by al-Battani, and a detailed discussion of his astrological interpretations.
