Abu Bakr
Definition
Abu Bakr is a ninth-century astrologer represented through Persian Nativities III and its annual-predictive material.
Life and context
The bibliography follows the edited translation record rather than reconstructing a complete life narrative from later Latin name forms such as Albubather.
Work and ideas
His represented material belongs to a collection covering annual revolutions, profections, planetary periods, and related medieval predictive procedures.
Scope and limitations
The page identifies Abu Bakr's place in the reviewed collection; it does not assign every doctrine in the edited volume to him individually.

Documented rules
4 documented rules
When the active firdaria subperiod is ruled by the same lord as the major period, this indicates Abu Ma'shar's rule that the subdivision begins with the period lord itself.
The active firdaria major lord can be read as the current Persian period lord descending from the sect-light sequence.
When a nodal firdaria period is active, this indicates Abu Ma'shar's terminal Dragon's Head or Tail phase directly.
The active firdaria sub-lord can be read as the equal seventh-part subdivision of the current Persian period.
