Very popular textbook of arithmetic by Bahā’ al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Ḥusayn al-‘Āmilī (بهاء الدين محمد بن حسين العاملي; d. 1621). The text was originally completed in Ṣafar 1004/October 1595, and the present copy was completed at noon on a Saturday in Rabīʿ II 1046/September-October 1636 by the scribe Ghulām Muḥammad ʿAbd al-Qādir al-Jāʾī (غلام محمد عبد القدر الجائي, see authorial

The preface of the present copy contains a dedication to a sultan called 'Sultan, son of the Sultan, son of the Sultan, Abū al-Ghālib Sulṭān Ḥasan Bahādur Khān' (السلطان ابن السلطان ابن السلطان أبي الغالب سلطان حسن بهادر خان, f. 2r, lines 4-5), with an interlinear note correcting 'Ḥasan' to 'Ḥamzah' (حمزة).

[London: Printed by order of the Secretary of State for India in Council, 1877], item 758, p. 220) identifies the dedicatee with Amīr Hamzah (أمير حمزة, reg. 1565/66-1586), son of Muḥammad Khudābandah Ṣafavī (محمد خدابنده صفوى, reg. 1578-1587), son of Shāh Ṭahmāsp I (شاه طهماسپ, reg. 1514-76). This dedication is also found in at least one other copy in which the name is given as Sulṭān Ḥamzah Bahādur Khān (سلطان حمزة بهادر خان; see

is not clear, however, since Amīr Hamzah had been murdered nine years prior to the completion of the text, and this dedication is not found in other copies.

Chapter Four: Deriving Unknowns by Means of Calculating the Two Errors (الباب الرابع في استخراج المجهولات بحساب الخطائين, ff. 13v-14r);
Chapter Five: Deriving Unknowns by Means of Operating with the Opposite (الباب الخامس في استخراج المجهولات بالعمل بالعكس, ff. 14r-14v);
Chapter Six: On Mensuration (الباب السادس في المساحة, ff. 14v-17v);

Muqābalah
(الباب الثامن في استخراج المجهولات بطريق الجبر والمقابلة, ff. 19r-21v);

Conclusion (خاتمة, f. 26r).
Begins (f. 1v, lines 1-3):
نحمدك يا من لا يحيط بجمع نعمه عدد ولا ينتهي تضاعف قسمه إلى أمد
ونصلي على سيّدنا محمد النبي المجتبي وعترته سيما الأربعة
المتناسبة أصحاب العبا وبعد...
Ends (f. 26v, lines 8-13):
... فاعرف قدرها ولا ترخص مهرها وأمنعها
عمن ليس أهلها ولا تزفه إلا إلى الحريص على أن يكون بعلها
ولا تبذلها لكثيف الطبع من الطالب لئلا تكون معلقًا
للدرر في أعناق الكلاب فإن كثيرًا من مطالبها حري
بالصيانة والكتمان حقيق بالاستتار عن أكثر أهل هذا الزمان
واحفظ وصيتي إليك والله حفيظ عليك ...
