Notes
Two treatises on the construction and use of sundials by the Andalusian scholar Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm ibn ʿAlī ibn Aḥmad ibn Yūsuf al-Mursī al-Andalusī al-Tūnisī al-Awsī ibn al-Raqqām (Abdullah Muhammad bin Ibrahim bin Ali bin Ahmed bin Yusuf Al-Mursi Al-Andalusi Al-Tunis Al-Awsi bin Al-Raqam, d. 1315).
Although the copy is undated, the use of the phrase 'may God prolong his life and brighten his sky with benefic stars' after the author's name (f. 1v, lines 5-6) indicates that it was copied before the death of the author in 715 AH/AD 1315.
The title page (f. 1r) reads
