Ibn Sirin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Muhammad Ibn Sirin (born in Basra, Iraq) was a Muslim interpreter of dreams who lived in the 8th century. He is a contemporary of Malik Ibn Anas.
The most notable of his books is Dreams and Interpretations. The rare second edition in Italian of his interpretation of Egyptian and Persian dreams (translated from Leo Toscano's Latin into Italian by the famous cheiromantist Patricio Tricasso who, in his foreword to Alessandro Bicharia), explains that he has omitted many of the original interpretations owing to many dreams being inspired either by melancholy or evil spirits. The original Arabic, Greek and Leo Toscano's Latin texts seem not to have survived and this is the second of three Italian editions of the sixteenth century, the others appearing in 1525 and 1551.
