darksilenceinsuburbia:Persian ZodiacThese images come form an egyptian manuscript from the 14th/15th centuries. It reproduces a persian astrological treatise from ~9th century - ‘Kitâb al-Mawalid’ - by Abû Ma'shar, said to have been the most influential document in the development of western astrology. [I believe it is otherwise known as ‘The Book of Nativities’ or ‘The Book of Revolution of the Birth Years’.]Although produced in Cairo, the manuscript illustrations were almost certainly by a persian artist. -- source link
