("Sefer Ha'te'amim" - ספר הטעמים) by Rabbi Abraham Ibn Ezra Translated by Meira Epstein
"With this and subsequent translations of Ibn Ezra's
works we have our first translations directly from the original language
of Arabic Era astrology. Although Ibn Ezra was a Jew and wrote in Hebrew, his
astrology is mainstream Arabic Era astrology completely free of the
modifications that were often made of Arabic astrology by the Christians who
translated the Arabic works into Latin" |

("Sefer Ha'Moladot Ve'Ha'Tequfot" - ספר המולדות והתקופות) by Rabbi Abraham Ibn Ezra Edited and translated
from Hebrew Manuscripts and annotated by Meira Epstein
"Meira Epstein began her astrological career in Israel
where she taught English as a second language. Her early career as
programmer-analyst on Wall Street foreshadowed her multifaceted talents she
would employ for systems and symbols in integrating an ancient language in
our modern world. Meira’s focus today is on the revival of ancient texts and
techniques, integrating them into current modern practice. She is a teacher
on the Faculty of the New York Chapter of the National Council for Geocosmic
Research (NCGR). Meira’s publications include many articles published in
various astrological journals in the United States, United Kingdom and the
Netherlands." -- Robert Hand |
 The Correspondence between the Rabbis of Southern France and Maimonides about Astrology Translated by Meira Epstein In this intriguing 12th century historical document Jewish scholars write to Maimonides, the renowned Jewish theologian and philosopher, seeking answers to very specific astrological questions. Maimonides was adamantly opposed to astrology, and this is reflected in this correspondence, where he refers to principles already established in his famous "Guide For The Perplexed". This exchange raises questions that sharpen the philosophical and metaphysical tension between Religion, Humanism and Astrology. "Meira's contribution is not only to the field of astrology, but to history, to linguistics and to the deepest level of our cultural understanding about the Jews and astrology in medieval times. Carefully planned, translated and presented, Meira's work is the first of its kind and we believe will be judged the best." -- Robert Hand. Buy it Now (here) |

Sefer Yetzirah Translated by Meira Epstein Translation, Transliteration and Commentary, with Special Attention to the Underlying Philosophical Origins, Ancient Jewish Mysticism, Cosmology and Astrology.
Sefer Yetzirah
is known by name to many, but few have knowledge of its contents and what it
represents. Throughout the centuries it has been studied, interpreted and
commented on by numerous scholars, mostly intrinsically, interpreting the
mystical doctrine on its own. Modern academic research tends to looks at it
historically, possibly as an ancient ‘scientific’ text on numbers and
letters. In this publication, my goal is to make this text accessible on a
simple, primary introductory level, while highlighting fundamental
philosophical issues that underlie this work. For those who would like to
try reading the Hebrew, I have provided English transliteration. The
commentaries reflect and combine the fields of interest that are close to my
heart – ancient Jewish mysticism, Pre-Socratic Greek philosophy and
Classical Astrology.
