Kitāb Thāwudhūsīyus fī al-masākin كتاب ثاوذوسيوس في المساكن
Theodosius ثاودوسيوس
- Scope & Content:
-
Arabic version of the De habitationibus (Περὶ οἰκήσεων; كتاب المساكن), a work on astronomy by Theodosius of Bithynia (ثاودوسيوس; Θεοδοìσιος; c 160-c 100 BC), translated from the Greek by Qusṭā ibn Lūqā (قسطا بن لوقا; c 820-912). The text contains twelve diagrams.
The copy was completed at Yazd in Rajab 1014/November 1605 by Ibn ‘Abd al-Raḥīm Abū al-Qāsim Yaḥyá al-Astar’ābādī (ابن عبد الرحيم أبو القاسم يحيى الأسترآبادي; see colophon, f. 82r, lines 9-11, transcribed below).
The title page (f. 7r) and f. 76r give the author's name as ثاودوسي اوس. Both the title page and the title appearing on f. 76r were written by a hand later than that of the main scribe.
Begins (f. 76v, lines 2-4):
كتاب ثاوذوسيوس في المساكن نقل قسطا بن لوقا إثنى عشر شكلًا
ا الذين مساكنهم تحت القطب الشمالي نصف كرة الكل الظاهر لهم أبدًا ونصف كرة الكل يخفي عنهم هو أبدًا خفي عنهم
وليس شيئ من الكواكب يطلع عليهم ولا يغيب عنهم ...
Ends (f. 82r, lines 6-7):
فإن الشمس تسيرها في ثلثين يومًا فيكون النهار في حصول المنقلب الصيفي ثلثين يومًا ويظهر لنا أن لباقي
النهار إلى باقي الليل كل ره وذلك ما أردنا أن نبين
Colophon (f. 82r, lines 8-12):
تم الكتاب بعون الله وحسن توفيقه والصلوة والسلام
على نبيه محمد وآله الطاهرين في بلدة يزد
رجب المرجب سنة أربع عشر وألف وكاتبه
أبو القاسم يحيى الأسترآبادي
غفر الله له ولوالديه آمين
