What Wikipedia says

Picatrix (Arabic: غاية الحكيم, romanized: Ghāyat al-Ḥakīm or Ghayat al-hakim wa-ahaqq al-natijatayn bi-altaqdim lit. 'The Aim of the Sage' or 'The Goal of The Wise') is a 400-page Arabic book of magic and astrology, which most scholars assume was originally written in the middle of the 11th century, though an argument for composition in the first half of the 10th century has been made.
