Notes
This predates Ṭūsī’s Taḥrīr and is identified as Thābit’s correction of f. 161a: The first article of the book of Otolovus (!) On risings and sunsets, which is a fixed reform, and it contains fifteen forms, praises the benevolent King and prayers be upon the master of his prophets, Muhammad the Prophet, and his entire family. The following note on f. 157b in red seems to indicate that this copy was made from a copy containing notes in Thābit's hand: In the footnote, I found in the constitution the position of the hay in a fixed line in all the places where the hay is mentioned, accented with a haḍ [neglected] and the qāf is haqqī | The second article of the book of Eulogus on risings and sunsets was completed, and the book was completed by the grace of God and His good guidance... The sinner hoping for the mercy of his Forgiving Lord, and he is Muhammad bin Abi Bakr bin Muhammad in the date of Shawwal of the year 625. Hamad Al-Hamidin
Sample Text
Some of the risings of the stars, which for some reason (?) are ambiguous, and their setting are said to be subtle, some of them are apparent - this is the time during which the sun passes through an arc of salt, and that too is greater than the arc of two signs.
