看典籍時,看到西方記載人生受胎前的片段
這是從Omar of Tiberias "Three Books on Nativities"一書找到的文字:
When the seed falls into the vulva in the first month, it happans in the
dispositon of Saturn, and he disposes of the native by means of cold.
And in the second month Jupiter disposes of the native, and the Lord
projects spirit into the native, and disposes of him with a certain
tempered quality. In the third month the native is disposed by Mars,
and the blood is made. However, in the fourth month the Sun disposes the
native, and God breathes into the native the breath of life, that is, the
animating principle, and on that account at that time the Sun allocates
this in the Part of the Hyleg. Do you not see that when the Sun intervenes
in a sign, he moves the season and imparts the likeness of the nature of
the sign to the earth? But when he is moved from a sign, the working of
that sign recedes, which happens because the body is without a soul. In
the fifth month the native is disposes by Venus, and God prepares the male
or female sex in the native. In the sixth month the Moon [disposes] and the
native's image in completed in him, which if the native is born during the
disposition of the Moon, the native will come out [alive]. But if he is born
in the 8th month, the dispostion in the native reverts to Saturn, and the
native will die [if born in that month.] And if the native is born in the
9th month, the disposition reverts to Jupiter, and the native will live, if
God wills.
Omarr 大約是九世紀人,他大約於西元815-816之間過世
