The Arabic Book of the Seven Planets

Record summary

Arabic works organized around the seven classical planets describe planetary qualities, hours, metals, colors, images, invocations, and talismanic correspondences. Titles such as Kitāb al-Kawākib al-Sabʿa occur across related astrological and occult manuscripts rather than identifying one universally stable book. As a research lead, this tradition is useful for comparing practical astrology with astral magic and for tracing how Greek, Persian, Indian, and Islamic materials were combined. It requires careful bibliographic narrowing because similar titles can refer to different treatises, excerpts, or later compilations.
