Summary of article contents:
The astrological doctrines of aspects and planetary dignities found in the authoritative texts of the 罢腻箩颈办补 (Sanskritized Perso-Arabic) school are examined with respect to their origins and historical development, with particular emphasis on Balabhadra鈥檚 encyclopaedic 贬腻测补苍补谤补迟苍补 (1649) and its quotations from the perhaps earliest work of the school, 厂补尘补谤补蝉颈峁僪补鈥檚 罢腻箩颈办补艣膩stra (thirteenth century). It is argued that a major source of these doctrines is Sahl ibn Bishr鈥檚 Arabic-language intro颅duction to astrology (ninth century), possibly in abbreviated or paraphrased form. Several of the constituent ideas have been imperfectly understood by their Indian epitomists, resulting in reinterpretations and innovations.
