Note 406 — Chapter IV · THE SOURCES FOR THE PERIOD 1100–1250 A. D.

See above, p. 78. On the name “Johannes Hispanensis” see Duhem, Système, vol. iii, 1915, pp. 177–179. Duhem gives the date of the translation as 1134. He was apparently unfamiliar with Bibliothèque Nationale MSS., fonds St. Victor, no. 848, which establishes the date as March 11, 1135, and with an article on the subject by Woepcke: Notice, 1862, pp. 116–117. John of Seville’s translation is found in many manuscripts and was printed at Nuremberg in 1537. John of Seville also translated Abū Maʿshar’s The Great Book of the Introduction (see Haskins, Studies, 1924, p. 45).
