In the Antipalus maleficiorum by Trithemius - an index of necromantic books - there is a quoting of this liber, attributed to the prophet Enoch.

In the XXXII chapter of the secondo book of De occulta philosophia Cornelius Agrippa quotes an advice by the Arabian astronomer Thabit, about how to capture a specific star virtus, by picking up the stone and the herb associated to it, when the Moon stands in good aspect with the star itself.

 The Liber de virtutibus herbarum consists of a treatise about zodiacal signs and the seven planets, connected to medical plants, described by Jonathan Smith as "one of the most precious texts for an understanding of the religious life of Late Antiquity".

The Compendium Aureum, also known as Tractatus de septem herbis septem planetis attributis, accompanies the De consideratione quintae essentiae of the Franciscan John of Rupescissa (14th century) in numerous manusc
