-^Ghayat Al-Hakim}»-<br />

The Third Book is about the fortunes of the planets from the<br />

three generative origins, and it explains that there is nothing left<br />

in the world of formation and dissolution that agrees with such<br />

functions; reactions are impossible because of their fluidity and<br />

susceptibility to interaction, and consequently, nothing remains.<br />

I also mention their tempers in dealing with one another to<br />

attain the required magical function through the effect of the<br />

original or natural heat or both either by means of emanating<br />

incense or by whatever cooked food or drink that can get into<br />

the stomach.<br />

The Fourth Book talks about the magic of the Kurds, the<br />

Nabateans, and the Abyssinians and examples of the magical<br />

tricks which are considered the best type of magic. I complete<br />

this purpose without withholding or concealing anything. I<br />

beseech Allah's assistance to help me complete this endeavor.<br />

He is my supporter, and with His support I hereby begin, Allah<br />

willing.
