Sharḥ mukhtaṣar fī maʿrifat al-taqāwīm شرح مختصر في معرفة التقاويم
- Scope & Content:
-
An anonymous commentary on an astronomical treatise in thirty sections called al-Mukhtaṣar fī maʿrifat al-taqāwīm (المختصر في معرفة التقاويم), also known as Sī faṣl dar maʿrifat-i taqwīm (سي فصل در معرفة تقويم) by Naṣīr al-Dīn al-Ṭūsī (نصير الدين الطوسي, d. 1274). The copy was completed at noon on Tuesday, 25 Dhū al-Qaʿdah 912/18 April 1507 by the scribe Dadah ibn Muṣṭafá (دده ابن مصطفى), in Amasya (أماسية, in modern-day Turkey).
A contents page (verso of third un-numbered flyleaf) enumerates the thirty chapters and their page number according to the previous Eastern Arabic foliation in red, followed by a table of astrological relationships and influences between the seven planets, zodiac signs, and the four elements (f. 2r). The text also contains cosmological diagrams (ff. 11r, 13v, 17r and 29v), sketches of constellations (ff. 25v-26v), and a further astrological table (f. 34v).
Begins (f. 2v, lines 2-5):
الحمد لله الذي جعل الأحوال الجزئية في السفليات مربوطة بالأوضاع الفكية و
الاتصالات الكوكبية والصلوة على رسوله محمد الذي صار الأحكام الكلية في السمعيات
منوطة بأرائهم الثاقبة وأقواله الصائبة وعلى آله التاجئين من الجرثومة الطاهرة
وأصحابه المشبهين بالنجوم الزاهرة أما بعد فإن المختصر الذي ألفه في التنجيم...
Ends (f. 48r, lines 14-17):
...وهما لدخولهما تحت التجارة يوافقهما كون القمر في البروج
المنقلبة ومع ذلك فالمناسب للبيع كون القمر منصرفا عن سعد
وللشرى كونه متصلا بسعد ولنقنع من الكلام بهذا القدر حامدين
لمالك القدر ومصلين على سيد البشر ...
Colophon (f. 48r, lines 17-22):
... قد وقع الفراغ من تحرير
هذه النسخة المسمات (!) بسي فصل على يد العبد الضعيف دده ابن
مصطفى في نصف نهار يوم الثلثاء الخامسة
والعشرين من شهر ذي القعدة الواقعة
في شهور حجة إثنى عشر وتسعمائة
بمقام أماسية
