The History of Astrology in Andalusia

Abraham Ibn Ezra was an astrological hard liner. He wrote a withering criticism of astrology, and went so far as to blame astrological activities for the ancient misfortunes of the Jews. Next will come Abraham Ibn Dawud, a philosopher whose major work is an exploration of the question of human freedom. And after these two Abrahams, it will make sense to turn to a Moses. In fact, to Moses Maimonides, the greatest of all medieval Jewish philosophers.
