The present volume focuses on Henry Bate of Mechelen (1246âafter 1310), the first scholar to bring Ibn Ezraâs astrological work to the knowledge of Latin readers. The volume has two main objectives. The first is to offer as complete and panoramic an account as possible of Bateâs translational project. Therefore, this volume offers critical editions of all six of Bateâs complete translations of Ibn Ezraâs astrological writings. The second objective is to accompany Bateâs Latin translations with literal English translations and to offer a thorough collation of the Latin translation (with their English translations) against the Hebrew and French source texts.
This is volume 2 of a two-volume set.
