Khulāṣat al-ḥisāb خلاصة الحساب ‘Āmilī, Bahā’ al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Ḥusayn عاملي، بهاء الدين محمد بن حسين

Content

Very popular textbook of arithmetic by Bahā’ al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Ḥusayn al-‘Āmilī (بهاء الدين محمد بن حسين العاملي; d. 1621).

The treatise contains numerous diagrams and tables (ff. 104v, 105r, 105v, 106r, 109r, 109v, 110v, 112r, 118v, 119r, 122r, 122v and 124v). The text is defective at the end, lacking the final eight lines of the edition of Galal Shawky (Aleppo: Institute for the History of Arabic Science, University of Aleppo, 1976, pp. 152-53).

Begins (f. 103v, lines 2-3):

نحمدك يا من لا يحيط بجمع نعمه عدد ولا ينتهي تضاعف

قسمه إلى أمد ونصلي على سيّدنا محمد النبي المجتبي وعلى آله

Ends (f. 135v, lines 16-17):

... السادس ثلث مربّعات المتناسبة

مجموعها مربع السابع مجذور إذا زيد عليه
