About this item

Content

Arabic version of the De habitationibus (Περὶ οἰκήσεων; كتاب المساكن), a work on astronomy by Theodosius of Bithynia (ثاودوسيوس; Θεοδόσιος; c 160-c 100 BC), translated from the Greek by Qusṭā ibn Lūqā (قسطا بن لوقا; c 820-912).

The diagrams are collected on a fold out (f. 21r) following the text. At the end of the text is a collation note in Persian dated 18 Jumādá I without mention of the year (f. 9v), probably 1198 (9 April 1784).

Contents:

Begins (f. 11v, lines 2-4):

تحرير كتاب المساكن لثاوذوسيوس وهو إثنا عشر شكلًا

نقل قسطا بن لوقا البعلبكي الذين مساكنهم تحت القطب الشمالي

فنصف كرة الكل الظاهر لهم هو أبدًا ظاهر لهم بعينه ...

Ends (f. 20v, lines 1-5):

فيكون ضوء الشمس زمان كونها على قوس ع ذ ف ظاهرًا

في آفق قه فيكون النهار حينئذ قريبًا

من شهر وظاهر أن لباقي النهارات

إلى لياليها كل نسبة

وذلك ما أردناه
