Notlar	This is the first printed (lithographed) book in Persian to introduce Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation and Western modern heliocentrism. The book is an attack on astrology as a pseudo-science and dismissal of belief in the auspicious or ominous influences of celestial bodies. Eʿteżād-al-Salṭana’s criticism of astrology followed the model of such classical Islamic scholars as Bīrūnī, Fārābī, and Avicenna, but Eʿteżād-al-Salṭana also discussed modern astronomical discoveries at length and made what was probably the first published assault in Persian on the still widely accepted Ptolemaic theory. Publication of Falak al-saʿādat had adverse repercussions in conservative scholarly circles and gave rise to some criticism to which the author responded. (From Abbas Amanat, Encyclopaedia Iranica). Digitized original manuscript available online through Malek National Library and Museum. Daša Pahor Antiquariat; For more information, see Kamran Arjomand. The Emergence of Scientific Modernity in Iran: Controversies Surrounding Astrology and Modern Astronomy in the Mid-Nineteenth Century.
