‘Incipit Centilogium Ptho<lomei>. Iam premisi libros in quibus tractavi de impressionibus planetarum in hoc mundo… Scientia astrorum ex te et ex illis est, nec convenit peritum… (24rb) Quod dixit Ptholomeus, ex te et illis, significat quod qui res futuras prescire — acciditque in Egipto tunc quicquid dixit Ptholomeus. Hoc est quod ego volui exponi in hoc libro. Perfecta est eius exposicio. Deo gracias. Explicit Centilogium Ptholomei cum commento Abugafari conscriptum.’ |
