description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article 2017Publisher:Brill Authors: Daniel Martin Varisco;Daniel Martin Varisco;The lunar zodiac, generally known as the manāzil al-qamar in Arabic, served both as an astronomical and an astrological system. This was a system of 28 lunar “mansions” or “stations” in which the moon was said to station ( nazala ) each night of the sidereal month. For each of the asterisms of the mansions there were prognostications, astrological and mystical connections. One of the more widely traveled sources on this astrological content in the past three centuries has been based on the work of the 7th/13th century Aḥmad b. ʿAlī l-Būnī (d. ca 622/1225 or 630/1232-1233), especially the text known as Sams al-maʿārif. This article provides a translation and edition of the relevant section on the lunar mansions with a critical commentary. It is based primarily on a 11th/17th century manuscript preserved in Istanbul’s Suleymaniye library and attributed to al-Būnī.Le zodiaque lunaire, generalement connu sous le nom manāzil al-qamar en arabe, servit a la fois comme un systeme astronomique et astrologique. Il s’agissait d’un systeme de 28 « mansions » ou « stations » lunaires dans lesquelles on disait que la lune « descendait » ( nazala ) chaque nuit du mois sideral. Pour chacun des asterismes des mansions, il y a des predictions et des connexions astrologiques et mystiques. L’une des sources les plus largement parcourues sur ce theme astrologique au cours des trois derniers siecles est fondee sur l’ouvrage d’Aḥmad b. ʿAlī l-Būnī (m. ca 622/1225 ou 630/1232-1233), en particulier le texte connu sous le titre de Sams al-maʿārif . Cet article fournit une traduction et une edition de la section sur les mansions lunaires avec un commentaire critique. Il s’appuie principalement sur un manuscrit du XI e / XVII e siecle conserve a la bibliotheque Suleymaniye d’Istanbul et attribue a al-Būnī.This article is in English.

The examination of relevant Sunnī works indicates that the doctrine crystalized in the 5th/11th century, by which time the basic tenets of the doctrine had been developed. These include, among other things, the definition of Companions and their essential role in securing the authenticity of Islam. Furthermore, it was around that time that medieval Sunnī scholars developed an epistemological—rather than a historical or theological—basis for the doctrine. Establishing the integrity of the Companions during the Prophet’s lifetime on the presumption of innocence that is further confirmed by textual evidence, they argued that good Muslims must continue to accept that integrity given the lack of conclusive evidence that they lost it at a later time, particularly when they participated in civil wars. I argue that this epistemological ground was furnished by Murğiʾism, as the examination of some Murğiʾī texts demonstrates.1
