Commentary by Quṭb al-Dīn Maḥmūd ibn Mas‘ūd al-Shīrāzī (قطب الدين محمود بن مسعود الشيرازي; c 1236-1310) on the
Kitāb al-tadhkirah fī al-hay’ah(كتاب التذكرة في الهيئة; see British Library, MS Or. 11209) a treatise on the astronomical system presented in the
Almagestof Ptolemy (Claudius Ptolemaeus; c 90-c 168) by Naṣīr al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad al-Ṭūsī (نصير الدين محمد بن محمد الطوسي; d. 1274).A Persian note on f. 1r claims that the manuscript is undoubtedly in the hand of Quṭb al-Dīn al-Shīrāzī himself, but the extensive and hyperbolic eulogy for the author with which the text begins (see f. 2v, lines 2-4, transcribed below) argues against this.The text is divided into four books (أبواب), each subdivided into chapters (فصول), and occasionally further subdivided into smaller sections variously designated as مباحث ,أقسام and قوانين.Contents:'Book One: What must be introduced before attempting the aims [of the text], containing three chapters' (الباب الأول فيما يحتاج إلى تقديمه قبل الشروع في المقاصد وفيه ثلثة فصول, ff. 3r-7r);'Book Two: The arrangement, placements and movements of the simple bodies, and associated and related matters, containing sixteen chapters' (الباب الثاني في هيئة الأجرام البسيطة وأوضاعها وحركاتها وما يلزم منها وما يتعلق بها وفيه ستة عشر فصلًا, ff. 7r-131r);'Book Three: The arrangement of the Earth and its division into populated and empty [regions] et cetera on account of differences in the placements of the heavenly bodies and the like, containing thirteen chapters' (الباب الثالث في هيئة الأرض وقسمتها إلى العامر والغامر وما يلزمها بحسب اختلاف أوضاع العلويات ونحوه وهو ثلثة عشر فصلًا, ff. 113r-151r);'Book Four: Knowledge of the quantity of distances and (heavenly) bodies, containing three chapters' (الباب الرابع في معرفة مقادير الأبعاد والأجرام وفيه ثلثة فصول, ff. 151r-169v).The beginning of the text as preserved here differs from that of the copy of this text preserved in Add. MS 23393, f. 2v, but corresponds to that of Quṭb al-Dīn al-Shīrāzī's
Final Understanding of the Congnizance of the Spheres(نهاية الإدراك في دراية الأفلاك) as preserved in Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preussischer Kulturbesitz, Orientabteilung, MS Peterman I 674, f. 0a, lines 2-5 (see | https://ismi.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/om4-ismi/public/publicWitness.jsp?eid=164549).The | manuscript contains numerous diagrams and is defective at the end, with only a few words of the text's explicit visible on f. 169v, and almost nothing of the colophon legible.Begins (f. 2v, lines 2-4):قال مولاناس وأستاذنا أفضل الورى علامة العالم ملك فضلاء بني آدم قدوة المحققينسلطان العلماء في العالمين حجة الحق على الخلق أجمعين مفخر أفاضل الأنام مالك أزمة (؟)القضاة والحكام قطب الملة والحق والدين محمود بن مسعود الشيرازي أدام الله ظلال جلالهEnds (f. 169r, lines 19-21, defective at end, cf. Add. MS 23393, f. 177r, line 9ff):... ومزاولة الشواغل الدنيوية حتى القضاء والتدريس إذ والزمان زمانفهو بلاء وتلبيس جعله خدمة لمعمور خزانة المولى المعظم والمخدوم الأعظم وتحفة لعالىحضرته وأرجوا أن يقع ذلك من خادم حضرته موقع رضاه وهو سبحانه قادر | Codex; ff. iii+172+iii | Material: Eastern laid paperDimensions: 165 x 120 mm leaf [120 x 90 mm written]Foliation: British Museum foliation in pencil; three slips of paper have been bound into the volume as ff. 95a, 156a, and 160aRuling: No ruling visible; 21 lines per page; vertical spacing 17 lines per 10 cmScript:
