See the typewritten notices of Georges Vajda for the Arabic manuscripts 2400 to 2759. This last title is given by the author of the Tawârîkh al-Ḥokamâ. This treatise contains the figures of the constellations and the enumeration of the stars which make up each constellation. The figures, drawn with a single line, are double, one representing the constellation as it appears on the celestial vault, the other, reversed from right to left, representing the same constellation, as we find it drawn on the globes (فى الكرة). In the History of Astronomy of the Middle Ages, by De-lambre, it is said by mistake (page 204) that the double figures are, one for maps and others for globes. Each figure is preceded by its description and followed by the list of stars of which it is composed and their latitudes and longitudes. Each star is accompanied by its number, in the figures and in the table. The author also indicates the stars which are outside the constellations. This catalog raisonné was composed after the year 335 AH (947 A.D.), and dedicated to the Bouid sultan ʿAdhod al-Daula Fenna Khosrou, who ascended the throne in 338 AH. The author, ʿAbd al-Raḥmân ibn ʿUmar ibn Moḥammad ibn Sahl al-Ṣoûfî, generally known as Abu ʾl-Ḥosaïn, was born in Reï, in 291 AH (903 AD), and died in 376 AH (986 AD). C.). Employed by ʿAdhod al-Daula as a professor of astronomy, he taught this prince the names and positions of the fixed stars. Caussin de Perceval, father, gave a notice on this work and a considerable extract from the preface, in the collection of Notices and Extracts, t. XII, pages 236 et seq.
