Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn al-Sayigh, more commonly known as Albubather, was a distinguished Arab astrologer and astronomer of the 9th century. Born around 787 AD and passing away circa 869 AD, he made significant strides in the world of medieval astrology. Albubather’s most notable work is the “Kitab al-Mudkhal al-Kabir,” an influential astrological text that delved into natal astrology, providing comprehensive guidelines for interpreting astrological charts.
His expertise wasn’t limited to astrology; he was also well-versed in the interpretation of dreams, an aspect of his work that linked the celestial movements with the human psyche. Albubather’s contributions were pivotal in shaping the astrological practices of the medieval Islamic world and had a lasting impact on European astrology. His works were often referenced and translated, serving as a bridge between different cultural and scientific traditions.
