This volume, then, covers the astrological doctrine of elections, which is concerned with finding the best time to begin a particular activity; the doctrine of interrogations, designed to allow astrologers to reply to questions related to daily life; and the astrological theory behind the doctrine of the critical days, when marked changes take place in the symptoms of a disease. These three systems of astrology were combined in a single volume because Ibn Ezra considers them to be closely interrelated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Despite these quibbles, Shlomo Sela is to be congratulated for making Ibn Ezra's astrological treatises available in a modern edition of very high quality.\"\u003cbr\u003eBernard Goldstein, \u003ci\u003eUniversity of Pittsburgh\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shlomo Sela\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004212205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004212206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2011 pg. 8","brand":"Shlomo Sela","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47072207864063,"sku":"9789004212206","price":312.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_91cc4be5-c905-4692-b3a3-1167fc3d4c7d.jpg?v=1753416113","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/abraham-ibn-ezra-on-elections-shlomo-sela-9789004212206","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
