Notlar	An illustrated description by ‘Abd al-Raḥmān al-Ṣūfī (عبد الرحمن الصوفي) of the 48 classical constellations discussed by Ptolemy in his Almagest . The text contains labelled illustrations of the 48 constellations as viewed on a celestial globe and as viewed in the sky, along with supporting tables of individual stars within each constellation listing their Arabic names, celestial coordinates and magnitudes. This copy is defective at the beginning, missing the start of the preface, is wanting several folios and is imperfect in other ways (see detailed notes in English concerning these imperfections bound into front of volume). Incipit (f. 1r, lines 1-4): وهذا الكوكب هو ملاصق للكوكب السادس من كواكب الإكليل لأنهما جميعًا في الطول في موضع واحد غير أن الذي على الركبة أميل إلى الجنوب في العرض مقدار خمسين دقيقة وهما جميعًا في القدر الرابع. ولعل النقلة أو الوراقين أثبتوا لهذين الكوكبين في الأقدار د فغلط الوراق وقدر أنه ب فأثبتهما جميعًا في القدر الثاني ...
