Ot these two works the 'Theorica planetarum' is probably by Gerard of Cremona, himself, but the 'Canones' are a translation by him of the 'Toledan Tables' originally edited by Iban al-Zarquala or al-Zarqali [c. 1029-c. 1087], an Arabic astronomer of Corodova [cf. Sarton. 'Introduction to the History of Science', VOl. I, pp. 758-759].
