Created in Venice in 1506, this woodcut image has been beautifully preserved and is now part of a private collection. Albumasar, also known as Abu Mashar, was considered one of the leading astrologers of his time. This depiction portrays him not only as an astronomer but also as a sorcerer, highlighting the mystical aspects associated with his work. The intricate details captured in this print transport us back to the 16th century, immersing us in a world where astrology and magic were intertwined. The tools surrounding Albumasar hint at his expertise - from celestial maps to mysterious instruments that aid him in deciphering cosmic secrets.
