Princeton Geniza Project description: This Aramaic astrological work, a fragment of which survived in the Cairo Geniza, dealt with astral predictions and omens. The excerpt translated below describes the meanings of lunar eclipses in various months. The focus on Persia in this text and its mention of a king seem to suggest a pre-Islamic date, perhaps originally a non-Jewish context, and the mention of Jews may be a later insertion. There are also many parallels to Akkadian astrology. Empty brackets indicate lacunae in the manuscript. (Information from Posen Library) Alt. Description: Description of disasters, famines and frightful events due to happen in each of the Jewish months, mentioning the Jews and their slavery, the Arabs and their need for food, and the River Nile and its drought.
