Almagesti minor

"The Almagesti minor, also known as Almagestum parvum, was composed at an unknown date between c. 1150 and 1220. In the manuscripts, the text is anonymous or variously attributed to Albategni, Geber [Jābir ibn Aflāḥ], Campanus of Novara, Albertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas. Zepeda (The First latin Treatise, 11-18) rejects all these ascriptions and argues that a better candidate is Walter of Lille (possibly identical to Walter of Châtillon), to whom Richard of Fournival attributes the text in his Biblionomia written c. 1250 ('Galterus de Insulla')."
