's De Iudiciis Natiuitatum was translated into Latin by in 1136, and again by in 1153. Here is the edition of 's translation, 1546. Latin translations of the 12th century were spurred by a major search by European scholars for new learning unavailable in western Europe; their search led them to areas of southern Europe, particularly in and, which recently had come under Christian rule following their reconquest in the late 11th century. These areas had been under a rule for considerable time, and still had substantial Arabic-speaking populations to support their search.

The combination of Muslim accumulated knowledge, substantial numbers of Arabic-speaking scholars, and the new Christian rulers made these areas intellectually attractive, as well as culturally and politically accessible to scholars. A typical story is that of (c. 1114–87), who is said to have made his way to Toledo, well after its reconquest by Christians in 1085, because he arrived at a knowledge of each part of [philosophy] according to the study of the Latins, nevertheless, because of his love for the, which he did not find at all amongst the Latins, he made his way to, where seeing an abundance of books in Arabic on every subject, and pitying the poverty he had experienced among the Latins concerning these subjects, out of his desire to translate he thoroughly learnt the Arabic language. While Muslims were busy translating and adding their own ideas to Greek philosophies, the Latin West had been suspicious of pagan ideas., for example, was hostile to, and had little interest in exploring philosophy, only applying logic to theology. For centuries, Greek ideas in Europe west were all but non-existent. Only a few monasteries had Greek works, and even fewer of them copied these works.
