If I may make a book recommendation, I'm currently going through ibn Ezra's 11th century H-braic Astrological treatise The Beginning of Wisdom.

It's a most important little work to chronicle the understanding of the heavens in the medieval period. Much is borrowed from Ptolemy, but much comes from non-extant sources ranging from India to Baghdad. It may not be as "full" of a work as, say, the 6th century Chronicles of Jeremeel, but it is important as a source work of the understanding in the 11th century and beyond.

Much of it is familiar to me, some involves interesting theological interpretations.

I highly recommend it on your shelf as a source work. Get the leatherbound edition.

I'll read a bit before drafting off to sleep.
