Sample Text
(beginning) Fol.1b.1 Of the mounts, the circles, the rotations, and the crowded circles, and how they revolve with the planets that included them, with the regularity of their movements on the existing soil, without being limited to the imaginary circles that have on their circumferences the centers of rotation and the planets, as is usual... the movements of the planets and their quantity without searching for the positions of the spheres on the plane with which the movements observed on the existing systems and their names can be imagined. The book of insight into the knowledge of the earth... And I divided this book into two parts, one in mentioning what contains the earth and its parts.
