Item Description The title is mentioned on fol. 2r2f. BURSALI MEHEMMED TAHIR, Osmanli Mü'ellifleri III (Istanbul 1334/1915-16) 272 mentions our author and confirms the arrangement of the text in 18 chapters. The end is identical with ms. Princeton (Garrett-collection) 1005 which contains the treatise with the commentary by Muhammad Ibn Ali al-Humaydi محمد بن علي الحميدي (died 1179/1765-6), called Nadrat al-lubab fi sharh bahjat al-albab نضرة اللباب في شرح بهجة الألباب (mentioned in BURSALI III 302). According to BURSALI III 272 the author of Bahjat al-albab بهجة الألباب wrote during the time of Sultan Mustafa II (reigned 1695-1703). - For further mss. of this still unedited text on the astrolabe see GAL S II 1017 nr. 5; it is perhaps identical with ms. Princeton (Garrett-collection) 2006/19 (without author).
