A Hitherto Unknown Translation by Abraham Ibn Ezra of a Treatise by Abu Macshar: Edition of the French Translation by Hagin le Juif and English Translation
2022
Overview
Henry Bate (1246-after 1310), the first to bring Ibn Ezra's astrological work to Latin readers, commissioned a Jewish scholar named Hagin le Juif to translate a collection of four astrological works by Ibn Ezra from Hebrew into French. These four French translations are preserved in two manuscripts. In the earliest of them (MS fr. 24276, Paris, BnF, fols. 1a-66a; copied in 1273), immediately after the French translations of Ibn Ezra's Sefer ha-Moladot (Book of Nativities), there is another French translation entitled Le Livre Even Massar des Revolucions du Siecle (The Book by Abu Mashar on the Revolutions of the World; henceforth Revolucions). So far, despite modern scholars' interest in Abu Ma'shar's work, no in-depth and detailed research has been conducted into the text and French terminology of Revolucions, into the relationship between the French terminology of Revolucions and that of the other four French translations included in the same manuscript, or into the relationship between the French terminology of Revolucions and that of the Hebrew astrological writings by Ibn Ezra. The main objective of the current study is to argue that Revolucions was carried out by Hagin le Juif on the basis of a Hebrew translation carried out by Abraham Ibn Ezra, and to offer an edition of Revolucions, accompanied by an English translation and introductory study. This introductory study will deal with the following questions: (i) What is the evidence that Abraham Ibn Ezra was the author of the intermediary Hebrew source text of Revolucions? (ii) What was Abu Ma'shar's Vorlage for Revolucions? (iii) Who took the initiative for including Revolucions in the same manuscript that has four French translations of Ibn Ezra's astrological writings? (iv) Why was Revolucions placed immediately after the French translations of Ibn Ezra's Sefer ha-Moladot?
