The following text is an English translation from a Spanish book written at the court of Alphonse the Wise around the second half of 13th century, and known as Vaticanus Reginensis 1283.
Alfonso D’Agostino, in his edition of the book, identifies two main sources for the manuscript, Ghayat al-hakim and the Great Introduction of Albumasar.
The Spanish manuscript shares some chapters with Latin Picatrix, translated at the court of Alphonse too.
