Obrist, Barbara, "William of Conches, Māshā'allāh and twelfth-century Cosmology", Archives d'histoire doctrinale et littéraire du Moyen Age, 76 (2009), 29-87.

Resum

This article shows that the astronomy of William of Conches' Dragmaticon philosophiae draws on a cosmology attributed to Māshā'allāh in the list of Gerard of Cremona's translations, the Liber de orbe. William knew a forty-chapter version, while the list seems to refer to a shorter version, in twenty-seven chapters. The article further suggests that Petrus Alfonsi could have played a role in the dissemination of this Liber.
