Albumasar in Sadan, a collection of the teachings of the most famous Arabic astrologer, Ab? Ma?shar is well known for its assertion that comets are part of the supralunary regions. The horoscopes and other astronomical data present in Albumasar in Sadan give us a perfect opportunity to date different chapters of the work. The dates fall between AD 848 and 885, indicating that Ab? Ma?shar’s pupil, Ab? Sa??d Sh?dh?n ibn Ba?r collected the utterances of his master over a very long period of time. We also address some contradictions between Albumasar in Sadan and other works of the famous Arabic astrologer.
