Bonatti should be on your list, as should Sahl ibn Bishr, Introduction to the Science of the Judgments of the Stars.
Thanks! I've been considering several of Bonatti's books. I don't know much about Sahl ibn Bishr other than the name.
Sahl wrote the first book that is definitely horary, so he's well worth the effort. Get the Holden translation, not Dykes' pairing with Ma'shallah.
Of the others I have several and my opinions on them are:
Forget Marc Edmund Jones
Forget March and McEvers
Horary Astrology by Anthony Louis was my very first it's not bad for a first - you might be beyond it by now
Olivia Barclay is of historical importance but is now overtaken by better understanding of Horary - but she made the first attempt to make Lilly accessible and produce something of a commentary. So if you want it, it's one of the very first books in the Traditional revival
Barbara Dunn succeed Barclay as Principal of the Qualified Horary Practioners course. I found her book Horary Astrology Re-examined awkward to read because there's a wealth of information from a whole variety or authors but at times it's difficult to know where it's going and the style isn't good. Nevertheless I've grown to use it as a reference.
Lee Lehman is quite good to read in conjunction with Frawley, Very readable but not sure it's exactly on the money. Worth considering though.
Sue Ward's web site has quite a few articles and she is one of the leading Horary Practioners. I actually got her to join Aeclectic but sadly she didn't stay for long.
She has two sites:
http://www.horary.com/sward/swindex.html
http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~sueward/
The latter has a series of articles, many of them free that you can download and she's now posted a couple of videos, which as yet I've not seen. But will download in the next couple of minutes. She used to publish a downloadable magazine called the Traditional Journal but it only lasted a few issues (all of which I have). I'm not sure if it's still available. (it's not free but it's good).
Another writer I really enjoyed even though she wasn't all that traditional is Ivy Goldstein-Jacobson. Don't take it all as gospel, but she's worth a read, too.
I'd like to add the cool www.widgetsworld.co.uk to the collection !
Free chart interpretations, also partner compatibility and Sabian symbols reports! Yay !! You can post questions with your birth data too. The site requires you to sign up, but it's free.
