Iran-Persia-Afghanistan: Sun and lion symbols from an astrological treatise by Abu Ma'shar Ibn Balkhi,850 CE

Abu Ma'shar, Ja'far ibn Mu?ammad al-Balkhi (also known as al-Falaki or Ibn Balkhi, Latinized as Albumasar, Albusar, or Albuxar) (10 August 787 in Balkh, Khurasan – 9 March 886 in Wasi?, Iraq), was a Persian astrologer, astronomer, and Islamic philosopher, thought to be the greatest astrologer of the Abbasid court in Baghdad. He was not a major innovator, and his works are practical books for training of astrologers; even as an astrologer he was not intellectually rigorous. Nevertheless, he wrote a number of practical manuals on astrology that profoundly influenced Muslim intellectual history and, through translations, that of western Europe and Byzantium.
