- Scope & Content:
-
Summary of theoretical astronomy (علم الهيئة) by Bahā’ al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Ḥusayn al-‘Āmilī (بهاء الدين محمد بن حسين العاملي; d. 1621) in which he argues that the earth rotates around its axis.
The treatise contains numerous diagrams.
The copy was completed on the evening of Friday 20 Jumādá I 1227/29 (?) May 1812 by Muḥammad Muḥsin ibn Muḥammad Ṣāliḥ ibn Muḥyī al-Dīn al-Dawrī (محمد محسن بن محمد صالح بن محي الدين الدوري, see colophon, f. 255v, lines 2-9 and continuation to left of colophon, transcribed below).
Begins (f. 274, lines 2-7):
ربّنا ما خلقت هذا باطلًا سبحانك فقنا عذاب النار وأجعلنا من
المتفكرين في خلق السموات و الأرض واختلاف الليل والنهار وصلّى
على بدر سماء النبوة ومركز دائرة الفتوة حبيبك محمد النبي
المختار وآله بروج الولاية ومطالع شموس الهداية الأئمة
الأطهار وبعد فيقول الفقير إلى الله الغني بهاء الدين محمد
العاملي ...
Ends (f. 255v, lines 1-4):
... فإذا مضى من نصف
النهار بقدر ما معك من الساعات والدقائق إن زاد طول البلد
أو بقي له بقدره إن نقص فظل المقياس ح خط سمت القبلة هذا
ما غفلت عنه عوائق الزمان ولم يبينه له طوارق الحدثان
Colophon (f. 255v, lines 5-9):
تمت هذه النسخة الشريفة في فن
الهيئة على يد الفقير لله عز شأنه
محمد محسن بن محمد صالح بن محي
الدين الدوري
عفي عنهم
Scribes''s colophon continued (f. 255v, to left of main colophon):
20 جمادى الأول سنة 1227 في يوم الجمعة وقت
العصر ولله الحمد أولًا وآخرًا
وظاهرًا وباطنًا وصلى الله
على سيدنا محمد بن عبد الله
ابن عبد المطلب
