ملاحظات
Arabic version of the
Conics
(Κωνικά; كتاب المخروطات) by Apollonius of Perga (Ἀπολλώνιος; أبلونيوس; fl ca 200 BC). Originally in eight books, only Books 1 to 4 survive in the original Greek; Books 1 to 7 are preserved in Arabic. The edition is called
Taḥrīr makhrūṭāt
(تحرير مخروطات), indicating that this is the edition (تحرير) by Naṣīr al-Dīn al-Ṭūsī (d. 1274; see f. 181, line 5 and Sezgin,
Geschichte des arabischen Schrifttums
, vol. 5, p. 141), based on the translation made for the Banū Mūsá (fl. 9th century; see f. 42r, line 9).
This copy was completed in Ramaḍān 1198/July-August 1784 (see
colophon
Section at the end of a manuscript text.
on f. 204v, transcribed below), probably for Warren Hastings, Governor-General of Bengal from 1772-1785. The script, ornamentation and binding of the volume indicate that it is part of a set comprising manuscripts IO Islamic 923 and IO Islamic 1249.
Contents:
المقالة الأولى (Book 1; ff. 1v-42r);
المقالة الثانية (Book 2; ff. 42r-67v);
المقالة الثالثة (Book 3; ff. 67v-104v);
المقالة الرابعة (Book 4; ff. 104v-121v);
المقالة الخامسة (Book 5; ff. 121v-159v);
المقالة السادسة (Book 6; ff. 159v-181v);
المقالة السابعة (Book 7; ff. 181v-204v).
The diagrams referred to in the text are found on fold outs placed near the end of each book (ff. 41r, 66r, 103r, 120r, 158r, 180r and 196r).
There is an unfoliated blank leaf between ff. 195 and 196, and the text resumes with a basmallah on f. 197r after the diagrams on f. 196r, both of which features give the appearance that a new book begins on f. 197r. Since, however, there is no

on fol. 204v (transcribed below) indicates the end of the Conics, the text on ff. 197r-204v is either a continuation of Book 7, basmallah notwithstanding, or a postscript.

on f. 204v is followed by further geometrical proposition by the hand of the copyist. Its relation to the rest of the text is unclear.
Between front papers i and ii are a fragment of the spine and loose leaf of paper bearing a brief note in Persian.
Begins (f. 1v, lines 1-2):
