Begins (f. 2r, lines 1-3; defective at beginning):
مقصودًا بالذات في هذا الفن أو يتوفق عليه المقصود إذ الخارج عنهما لا يتعلق به غرض
منها فالثاني هو المقدمة والأول اما أن يتعلق بالأجسام الفلكية وهو المقالة الأولى
أو بالعنصرية وهو المقالة الثانية وتوضيح هذا المقام يستدعي زيادة بسط في الكلام
Ends (f. 65v, lines 11-14):
... ثم ضربوا ذلك في إثنى عشر فجعل أيام السنة القمرية
الاصطلاحية ثلثمائة وأربعة وخمسين يومًا وخمس يوم وسدسه وهذه
السنة ناقطة (!) من السنة الشمسية الحقيقية بعشر أيام وعشرين ساعة و
نصف ساعة بالتقريب والله أعلم بحقيقة الحال والله (!) المصير والمآل
