Notes
His Earth - Humidity 18.5 x 13 cm. The first copy is incomplete. The titles and paragraph heads were written in red ink, and with it I drew the astronomical tables and geometric shapes. The copy is opposite, and has some comments. It appears that between some of its leaves there are fallen leaves, and some of the leaves have been restored in an old way. Folio (71) is cut off and on the footnote of page (69b) there are comments in Latin. On the first folio before the beginning of the book is an ownership record, a bare registration, and an endowment for the Mawlawi hospice in Aleppo. The beginning of the manuscript: What are the consecutive square numbers that are the sum of the consecutive individuals? So the first fourth is one, then add 3 to it and add four, which is the second quarter resulting from the multiplication of two and two. If five are added to four, then nine will add up, which is the third quarter. The end of the manuscript: What is the content of the year book? The year book is made for the days of the Persian year because of ease and good estimation.. As for what is used in our country, in the first table of it, on the right of the viewer, it contains the days of the week in alphabetical letters, I mean The alif is marked on Sunday and then returns to the alif at the end of the week
