Notes	Commentary on Ptolemy's (Claudius Ptolemaeus; c 90-c 168) Almagest (Kitab al-Mujasta'i), said to be by Abū Naṣr Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Tarkhān al-Fārābī (Abu Nasr Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Tarkhān al-Fārābī; ca 870-950), but in fact by Avicenna (Abu Ali ibn Sina; ca 980-1037). Notes on front paper iii verse The back of a sheet of paper or leaf, often abbreviated to 'v'. and f. 1r state that the author is al-Fārābī and do not mention Avicenna. The author of the introduction, however, mentions the Kitāb al-lawāḥiq (Kitab al-Luwahaq ; f. 1v, line 4) as one of his own works, and this text is known to have been written by Avicenna (see Kātip Çelebi, Kitāb kashf al-ẓunūn, vol. 2, col. 1454 [Bayrūt: Dār Iḥyaʾ al-Turāth al-ʻArabī, 1941-1955]). Moreover, this text of the Sharḥ al-Majisṭī found in this manuscript appears to be almost identical with the text of Part (فن) Four of the section on mathematics (رياضيات) from Avicenna's Kitāb al-shifā' (The Book of Healing; Mudawwar and Aḥmad (eds) [al-Qāhirah: al-Hayʾah al-Miṣrīyah al-ʻĀmmah lil-Kitab, 1980]). The text contains numerous diagrams. The copy was completed at Damascus during (the last 10 days of ?) Ramaḍān 628 AH/end July-beginning August AD 1231 by an anonymous scribe (see colophon Section at the end of a manuscript text. , f. 106r, lines 6-8, transcribed below). Begins (f. 1v, lines 2-5): He once read several books by Ptolemy, the great scholar in mathematics and science, and he needed them In that contain a word other than that of descendants in that way other than your way from the way you appeared to the interviewers Except in things that are permissible in that which is entered in the Book of Al-Wahaq and that does not approach the meanings to it الأفهام گایة ما تقدر عليه Ends (ff. 105v, lines 23-106r, line 3): ... and do email Qatar this on what target movement one Qatar and do email point this The question of what Qatar's second move distinguishes from alignment and the partisans knows that the receipt of the hadith has taken place The line of communication and the line of the train of the transit opposite can be captured for the purpose of Ptolemy for us from here He deserves that from us until he succeeds توفيقه ...
