Notes
Anonymous versified abbreviation of a treatise on the sine quadrant (sine quarter), probably
Wāfīyat al-maṭlūb fī rubʿ al-juyūb
(Sufficient for what is required in a quarter of the pockets), by Abū Zayd ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Muḥammad ʿAbd al-Qādir ibn ʿAlī ibn Abī al-Maḥāsin Yūsuf al-Fāsi (Abu Zayd Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Muhammad Abd al-Qadir bin Ali bin Abi al-Maḥāsin Yusuf al-Fāsi, b. 1631, d. 1685). The author's name is mentioned in a note on f. 40r of the present volume.
Beginnings (f. 50r, lines 14-18):
Praise be to God, who has created ways for the science of estimating time
Then prayers and peace be upon him for all times to be good again
Upon our Prophet, the Messenger of God, his family, and his companions, people of prestige
This, in a quarter of the pockets, is a sufficient system that is required
By God, I ask for help with what I said in brief and concise
Ends (f. 51v, line 19- f. 52r, line 2):
...And thank God for His guidance
God asks for forgiveness from His servant Al-Fasi Abdul Rahman
Seeking the intercession of Mustafa Khair Al-Anam, may the best prayers and peace be upon him
It was done well
