- Scope & Content:
-
Summary of theoretical astronomy (هيئة) by Bahā’ al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Ḥusayn al-‘Āmilī (بهاء الدين محمد بن حسين العاملي; d. 1621) in which the author argues that the earth rotates around its axis.
The copy was completed on 9 Sha‘bān 1114/29 December 1702 by Ibn Muḥammad Riḍá Muḥammad Amīn (ابن محمد رضى محمد أمين, see ff. 131v, lines 6-9 and 142r, lines 18-19 transcribed below).
Begins (f. 132r, lines 2-6):
ربّنا ما خلقت هذا باطلًا سبحانك فقنا عذاب النار وأجعلنا من المتفكرين
في خلق السموات و الأرض واختلاف الليل والنّهار وصلّ على بدر سماء النبوة و
مركز دائرة الفتوة حبيبك محمد النبي المختار وآله بروج فلك الولاية ومطالع
شموس الهداية الأئمة الأطهار وبعد فيقول الفقير إلى الله الغني بهاء الدين محمد
العاملي عفى الله عنه ...
Ends (f. 142r, lines 14-16):
... فإذا مضى من نصف النهار
بقدر ما معك من الساعات والدقائق إن زاد طول البلد أو بقي له بقدره
إن نقص فظل المقياس ح سمت القبلة وهي إلى خلاف جهته الظل
