Anonymous text on the lunar stations
- Scope & Content:
-
Anonymous text on the twenty-eight lunar stations (منازل القمر). The text begins with a didactic poem, unusually laid out in three rather than two columns (f. 60v), followed by prose descriptions and rough diagrams of the asterisms (أنواء) that mark the lunar stations (ff. 61r-61v).
Begins (f. 60v, lines 1-3):
الحمد لله صلى الله على سيدنا محمد وآله
يا سائلا عن جملة المنازل اسمع ولا تكن لها بجاهل النطح نجمان ترى معتدلا
وثالث ترى إليه مائلا ثلاثة قل للبطين دور مثل المناصب يقول الناظر
Ends (f. 61v, lines 3-5):
... والمقدم كوكبان بعيدان يقال له فرغ
الخريف هكذا والمؤخر نجمان نائران يقال له فرغ الربيع هكذا
وبطن الحوت وتسمى بالرثاء هكذا
