Husselman, 1945). For an earlier (?), more complete (?) copy of this work see Mich. Isl. Ms. 734. Text (not this copy) published. Purchased in Cairo, 1933/34.

Includes tables for Islamic years 1189 [1775 or 6] to 1219 [1804 or 5], upon which the 18th-cent. date for this item is based. "Prayer-tables for Cairo taken from the main corpus [compiled by Ibn Yūnus] ... preceded by a short introduction in 8 or 10 faṣls, simple calendrical tables, and a solar longitude table, and followed by a star catalog." David A. King, A Survey of the Scientific Manuscripts in the Egyptian National Library (Winona Lake, 1986), p. 91.
