Bishr. After being translated into Persian in the 3rd Century, it was later put into an Arabic edition by the famous astrologer 'Umar al-Tabarī.</p><p>This new English translation of al-Tabarī explains many special features of Dorotheus's work, including chart dating, the use of triplicity lords, transits and profections, ascensional times, and more.
