Commentary on a didactic poem on calendrical computations
- Scope & Content:
-
Fragment of an anonymous commentary on an anonymous didactic poem on calendrical computations, perhaps by the astronomer ʻAlī ibn Muḥammad al-Dādasī al-Maghribī (علي بن محمد الدادسي المغربي, d. 1683; see note in upper edge margin of f. 186r: مأخذ من كتاب الدادسي مغربي). The commentary was composed in 1077/1667 (عامنا هذا وهو عام سبعة وسبعين وألف ... يوم الثلثاء وهو اليوم الذي دخل به ينير, ff. 186v, line 17, 187r, line 1 and 189v, line 21-190r, line 1).
Two authorities are cited: Abū al-ʻAbbās Aḥmad al-Māwāsī (?) (أبو العباس أحمد الماواسي [؟], ff. 187v, lines 15-16 and 193v, line 10); and Abū al-Zayd ʻAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʻUmar al-Sūsī (أبو زيد عبد الرحمان [!] بن عمر السوسي, f. 188v, lines 3-4). Both these authorities are said to have composed commentaries on the Garden of Blossoms (روضة الأزهار), presumably the Garden of Blossoms: Timekeeping by Night and Day (روضة الأزهار في علم وقت الليل والنهار), a poem on calendrics and astronomical timekeeping by the Moroccan timekeeper (مُوَقِّت) Abū Zayd ʻAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Ghālib al-Lakhmī al-Madyūnī al-Jādarī (أبو زيد عبد الرحمن بن الغالب اللخمي المديوني الجادري, fl. late 8th/14th century).
After f. 193 there are two blank folios now foliated as ff. 193a and 193b.
Begins (f. 186v, lines 2-4):
باب وإن شئت دخول العجمي وكبسه وأسه فلتعلم
هذا الباب ترجم فيه لمدخل العام العجمي ولمعرفة الكبس
وعدد الأس واستخراجه إذا جهل
Ends (f. 193v, lines 9-13):
هذا باب بيان موضع الشمس من البروج أو المنازل بالموضع
الذاتي أو بالطبيعي الماواسي في شرح روضة الأزهار
إذا توهمنا خطًا مستقيمًا يخرج من مركز العالم وينتهي لمركز
الشمس ويخرج على استقامة إلى أن ينتهي للفلك الأعلى فهو
ينتهي إلى نقطة من دائرة البروج
