Notes

The name of the author appears in the colophon., Incipit: I thank God, the beginning of every beginning and the goal of every goal... And after that, for a while, I was determined to edit for myself and for all other students of knowledge among the brothers the book Almagest attributed to Ptolemy... And here I go into what is meant and say that the book contains thirteen articles, Explicit: He said: And if we complete everything that lacks his guidance, such as the existence of what needs to exist and the correction of what needs to be Corrected... Praising him for his gods, praying for all his saints, especially for the seal of his prophets and a blessing from his God and his family, Physical description: 27 lines per page.
