Abstract
<jats:sec><jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>A short astrological treatise about the properties of the planets in the zodiac, called <jats:italic>De motibus / iudiciis planetarum</jats:italic> and attributed to Ptolemy (inc. <jats:italic>Sub Saturno sunt hec signa Capricornus et Aquarius et sunt eius domus</jats:italic>), appears from the thirteenth century onwards in two distinct traditions: in the encyclopedias of Bartholomew the Englishman and Arnold of Saxony, both written around 1230–1240, and in astronomical miscellanies copied in the fifteenth century either in or around Basel and in Northern Italy. These fifteenth-century manuscripts fall into two distinct groups of astronomical texts: the first is copied together with the <jats:italic>De signis</jats:italic> of Michael Scot, the second together with a part of the third book of Hyginus' <jats:italic>De astronomia</jats:italic>. The present article aims to describe the characteristics of the distinct textual filiations of <jats:italic>De m. / iud. pl</jats:italic>. and gives the first critical edition of the text.</jats:p> </jats:sec>
