Notlar	A collection of three texts on algebra and arithmetic, and three on the use of the quadrant. The texts in the volume were copied between Rabīʿ II-Jumādá II 1070/December 1659- February 1660 by ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan ibn Zayn al-Dīn al-ʿĀmilī (علي بن محمد بن الحسن بن زين الدين العاملي, whose transmission had been authorised by his great-grandfather (whom he refers to throughout as jaddī , جدي) Zayn al-Dīn ibn ʿAlī ibn Aḥmad al-Shāmī (زين الدين بن علي بن أحمد الشامي). References to Zayn al-Dīn's transmission are found at the end of every text in the present volume (ff. 93v, 114v, 133r, 137v, 147r and 165v), in addition to a copy of Zayn al-Dīn's original reading and audition certificate, mentioning three of the works in the volume (f. 115r). This certificate testifies to the transmission of 'a collection of mathematical works' all by Shihāb al-Dīn Abū al-‘Abbās Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad al-Maqdisī al-Faraḍī (شهاب الدين أبو العباس أحمد بن محمد المقدسي الفرضي, d. 1412), known as Ibn al-Hāʾim (ابن الهائم), or commentaries on his works. These are listed as: Sharḥ al-Lumaʿ [ al-yasīrah fī ʿilm al-ḥisāb ] (commentaries on this text were written by Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad Sibṭ al-Maridīnī [محمد بن محمدسبط المارديني, d. 1490], among others); Sharḥ Wasīlat al-Maʿūnah fī al-ḥisāb al-hawāʾī (the first text in the present volume); Sharḥ al-Yāsamīnīyah fī al-jabr wa-l-muqābilah (the second text), and al-Nuzhah fī hisāb al-hind al-ghubārī (the third, under a slightly different title). These texts were transmitted on the authority of ʿIzzat al-Dīn ʿAlī ibn ʿIzz al-Dīn Ḥusayn (عزة الدين علي بن عز الدين حسين) in mid-Shaʿbān 960/late July 1553, a date also mentioned in the notes on ff. 93v, 137v, and 147r). Although more than a century earlier than the date of the present volume, this time span is credible considering the four generations elapsed and the fact that the scribe could have been advanced in years at the time of copying. Content: (1) Sibṭ al-Māridīnī (سبط المارديني), Irshād al-ṭullāb ilá wasīlat al-ḥisāb (إرشاد الطلاب إلى وسيلة الحساب, ff. 1v-93v); (2) Sharḥ al-Urjūzah al-Yāsamīnīyah fī ʿilm al-jabr (شرح الأرجوزة الياسمينية في علم الجبر, ff. 94r-114v); (3) Ibn al-Hāʾim (ابن الهائم), Nuzhat al-ḥussāb fī ‘ilm al-ḥisāb (نزهة الحُسّاب في علم الحِساب, ff. 115v-133r); (4) Risālah fī al-ʿamal bi-al-rubʿ al-marsūm bi-al-qanṭarāt (رسالة في العمل بالربع المرسوم بالقنطرات, ff. 133v-137v); (5) Sibṭ al-Māridīnī (سبط المارديني), Hidāyat al-sāʾil ilá al-rubʿ al-kāmil (هداية السائل إلى الربع الكامل, ff. 138v-147r); (6) al-Wafāʿī (الوفائي), al-Nujūm al-zāhirāt fī al-ʿamal bi-rubaʿ al-muqanṭarāt (النجوم الزاهرات في العمل بربع المقنطرات, ff. 147v-165v).
