Item Description An commentary on Mukhtasar fi ma'rifat istikhraj a'mal al-layl wa-al-nahar fi rub' al-da'ira al-musammat bi-rub' al-da'ira مختصر في معرفة استخراج أعمال الليل والنهار في ربع الدائرة المسماة بربع الدائرة . The title of the commented text can be found on fol. 2v; its author is Yahya Ibn Muhammad Ibn Muhammad al-Ru'ayni al-Khattab يحيى بن محمد بن محمد الرعيني الخطاب (died 995/1587). The commented text, an astronomical treatise about the quadrants, is also known as Risala fi ma'rifat istikhraj a'mal al-layl wa-al-nahar bi-rub' al-jayb رسالة في معرفة استخراج أعمال الليل والنهار بربع الجيب and as Risala fi istikhraj al-layl wa-al-nahar min rub' al-da'ira al-musamma bi-rub' al-mujayyab رسالة في استخراج الليل والنهار من ربع الدائرة المسماة بربع المجيب . For further mss. of this still unedited text cf. GAL II 393 nr. 2. It is in fact an extract from the Rasa'il رسائل of Abu Abd Allah Muhammad Sibt al-Maridini أبو عبد الله محمد سبط المارديني (died 912/1506 cf. GAL II 167 and S II 215) and of other scholars (cf. fol. 2v, -3f.). Our text is identical with the second known ms. (Berlin 5827) and has (like the Berlin ms.) on fol. 37v-38 an appendix and on fol. 38r9ff. A fragment of a Rajaz-poem which is ascribed to Kamal al-Damiri كمال الدميري (ms. Berlin al-Dhikri! الذكري ) and which has the title al-Yawaqit fi ma'rifat al-mawaqit اليواقيت في معرفة المواقيت . In the margin are added a few glosses in Turkish.
