About this record
- Content
Persian translation of a treatise on geometry, the Ashkāl al-ta’sīs (أشكال التأسيس) by Shams al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Ashraf al-Ḥusaynī al-Samarqandī (شمس الدين محمد بن أشرف الحسيني السمرقندي, d. 1302; see f. 118v, line 7). The translation was made by Maḥmūd ibn Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ibn Qiwām al-Qāḍī al-Wālishtānī known as Maḥmūd al-Harawī al-Hay’awī (محمود بن محمد بن محمد بن قوام القاضي الوالشتاني known as محمود الهروي الهيئوي, fl. c. 1435; see ff. 118r, lines 16-17), and dedicated to Jamāl al-Dīn Sulṭān Ḥusayn (جمال الدين سلطان حسين; see f. 119r, lines 4-6).
All thirty-five propositions of the Ashkāl al-ta’sī s are commented upon, but the copy is defective at the end, finishing abruptly in proposition thirty-five.
The text is followed by notes in Arabic on geometrical terminology (f. 134r) and a bio-bibliographical note in Arabic on al-Sharīf ‘Alī ibn Muḥammad al-Jurjānī (d. 1413; f. 135r).
Begins (f. 117v, line 2):
حمد بی حد وثنأ بی منتها وسپاس بى قياس كه قدم شهوار ...
Ends (f. 133v, lines 16-17):
سطح ح ط متساوي سطح ح ع است چنانچه در لد گذشت وسطح ح ع
مثل سطح ح ر است چه متمان (؟) متساويا ٮٮد (؟) سطح ح ط متساوي سطح حر باشد (؟) سطح
