Supercommentary by Shams al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad al-Khafrī (شمس الدين محمد بن أحمد الخفري, d. ca 1550) on the Memoir on Astronomy (كتاب التذكرة في الهيئة) by Naṣīr al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad al-Ṭūsī (نصير الدين محمد بن محمد الطوسي; d. 1274). The text is presented as a completion (تكملة) of an earlier Commentary on Naṣīr's Memoir (شرح التذكرة النصيرية) by ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAli al-Ḥusaynī al-Jurjānī ( علي بن محمد بن علي الحسيني الجرجاني; d. 1413), known as al-Sayyid al-Sharīf (السيد الشريف). The composition of the text was completed on 4 Muḥarram 932/21 October 1525 (see Saliba, 1994, p. 19).

The text contains numerous diagrams, and many unfilled spaces left blank for further diagrams especially towards back of volume. Likewise, only three of the many spaces left blank for rubricated section headings have been filled in (see ff. 65v, 90r and 204v), and the rest have been left blank (see ff. 18v, 49v, 94r, 114r, 118v, 131v, 138v, 145v, 151r, 177v, 181v, 189v, 195r, 229v, 232r, 237v, 240v, 243r, 246r, 248v, 251v, 252v and 257r).

The copy was completed on 24 Dhū al-Ḥijja by Ghulām Muḥammad (غلام محمد) neglects to mention the year (see colophon Section at the end of a manuscript text. , f. 258r, lines 10-12, transcribed below). The year is not mentioned in the colophon Section at the end of a manuscript text. as it currently appears, but seems to have been written, then erased and overwritten with the words 'after Friday prayers' (بعد نماز الجمعة).

Begins (f. 1v, lines 2-5):

تعاليت يا ذا العرش الأعلى وما أعظم شأنك وتباركت يا مبدع السموات العلي

وما أجل سلطانك صلى وسلم على سيد الوري وآله أنوار ملك الهدي أما بعد

فيقول الفقير إلى الله الغني محمد ابن أحمد الخفري لما كان أجل العلوم بيانًا وأ[و]ثقها

بيانًا هو علم الهئة الذي انكشف به أسرار المبدعات واتضحت أحوال المضوعات

Ends (f. 258r, lines 6-9):

... هذا انتهى الأبعاد المعلومة المقادير وأما بعد

محدب فلك الأعظم فلا يعلم إلا الله سبحانه وتعالى في بعض النسخ ولنختم الكتاب ههنا حامد

ين الله تعالى ومصليين على نبيه المصطفى وعلى آله الطيبين الطاهرين حسبنا الله

نعم الوكيل

Colophon Section at the end of a manuscript text. (f. 258r, lines 10-12):

نصير الدين الطوسي على يد الفقير إلى الله الغني غلام محمد في رابع العشرون

شهر ذوي الحجة يوم الجمعة وقت بعد نماز الجمعة
