Tetrabiblos

Submitted by marienza Benedetto (Italy), Dec 21, 2009 at 04:17

I'm working on the astrological part of the first Jewish encyclopedia, the Midrash ha-hokma by Yehudah ha-Cohen (XIII sec.), who worked at Fredrick II's court. Which translation of the Tetrabiblos could he know and read? Is it possible that he knew Ishaq's translation? What about its transmission? Thank you very much
