Instructions on how to make astrolabes and other astronomical manuscripts, and how to use them in astronomical observations"Said by the dealer from whom it was purchased to be a rare work on astronomical instruments by Abu Jafar Nasir al-Din Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hasan, al-Tusi, 587/1201-672/1274. No such treatise by Nasir al-Din is listed among his works by Suter or Brockelmann, and the author's name does not appear in this manuscript ... The beginning [is] lost ... it is apparent that many other folios have been either lost or misplaced." Cataloging by Elinor M. Husselman, 1945
