Notes
About: "Apparently a compilation of extracts relating to the quadrant called shamālī al-maqṭūʻ, taken from the works of Sibṭ al-Māridīnī. It is in a muḳaddima and 20 bābs, and is not the same as Kifāyat al-ḳunūʻ fī 'l-ʻamal bi 'l-rubʻ al-maḳṭūʻ, in a muḳaddima and 15 bābs, also in this collection [Mich. Isl. Mss. 749,1 and 750,1]." Cataloging by Elinor M. Husselman, 1945. | Watermark: Three crescents. See Edward Heawood, Watermarks, Mainly of the 17th and 18th Centuries (Hilversum, 1950), p. 24.
