The present essay is devoted to Astronomia Ypocratis, a Latin pseudepigraph representing the most widespread medical-astrological text in the Medieval Ages and Renaissance. The hypothesis of three independent Latin translations of this work, currently accepted in scholarship, is rectified through a partial collation of selected witnesses. Moreover, it is showed that the attribution of the Latin translations to William of Moerbeke, Peter of Abano and other scholars mentioned in the manuscripts does not withstand philological scrutiny. Astronomia Ypocratis may ultimately be based on a lost recension of Pseudo-Galen’s Περὶ κατακλίσεως νοσούντων as it is demonstrated by a textual comparison. However, at the present state of research, it may not be excluded that the text reached Latin via a Semitic and/or a vernacular intermediary. Hagin le Juif and Peter of Limoges – the owner of the oldest manuscript, dated to c. 1273 – may have been involved in a translation process from Hebrew into Latin via French.
