The work 'Traités d'astrologie arabe' refers to a specific 13th-century Old French translation (preserved in manuscript BnF NAF 18867) of the astrological treatises of Sahl ibn Bishr (Zahel) and Masha'allah. While English translations of these authors' works exist (such as those by Benjamin Dykes and James Holden found in the search results), these are translated from the medieval Latin versions of the texts. No English translation of the specific Old French manuscript or a complete direct translation from the original Arabic collection exists. Following the 'Source Text Matters' rule, the existence of translations from a different source language (Latin) does not disqualify this specific French/Arabic text from being a first English translation.
