摘要:The Book of Nabataean Agriculture (translated into Arabic in the 10th century from Syriac sources dating back to between the 3rd and the 5th centuries A.D.) contains both agronomical and magical elements. In the Arabic tradition, these elements of the text are presented as separate aspects; however, in the original text, the practice of metamorphosis is clearly placed within the realm of natural sciences. This refutes the theory that the Book of Nabataean Agriculture represents the origin of the connection between agriculture and magic in certain agronomical texts from al-Andalus, such as al-Ṭighnarī and Ibn al-‘Awwām.
