It is a discussion of the mathematical principles of astrolabe construction directed toward serious scholars at an “intermediate” level, according to a statement in the introduction. This treatise also seems to have been somewhat influential, since a “supplement” (Tatmīm `Amal al-Asṭurlāb) was composed by Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad al-Azharī al-Khāniqī (fl. 1350). An anonymous summary (Tajrīd) is also extant. [BEA, DeYoung]

Composed after Ma’mūn's death in 833 but before 857. It was also the subject of two commentaries, the first by Abū `Ubayd `Abd al-Waḥīd ibn Muḥammad al-Jūzjānī, and the other by Abū al-Ṣaqr `Abd al-`Azīz ibn `Uthmān al-Qabīṣī. Bīrūnī wrote an extensive discussion of this work entitled Tahdhīb Fuṣūl al-Farghānī. Latin translations: John of Seville (Spain) about 1135. Printed Latin versions based on this translation were published in Ferara (1493), Nürnburg (1537), and Paris (1546). The translation of Gerard of Cremona (made some time before 1175) was not printed until the twentieth century, but it circulated in manuscript form throughout Europe. A Hebrew translation (before 1385?) of the Arabic text was prepared by Jacob Anatoli. This Hebrew version, together with the Latin of John of Seville, was used by Jacob Christmann to prepare a new Latin translation, published in Frankfurt (1590). The Arabic text, together with a new Latin translation and notes (which cover only the first nine chapters) was published posthumously by Jacob Golius (Amsterdam, 1669).[BEA, DeYoung]

10th c. Cordova. First extant Andalusī treatise on astronomy. The only known manuscript is preserved in the Süleymaniye Library in Istanbul (Carullah Efendi 1279, fols. 315r-321v). 30 numbered and 5 unnumbered chapters. The unnumbered chapters differ from the others and do not seem to belong to the work. The chapters are: 1-8: signs of the Zodiac and Lunar mansions; 9–11: planets and cosmographical subjects; 12: stars; 13–16: moon and sun; 17–27: subjects related to the calendar, i.e. years, months, days, hours (22 and 23 are devoted to clocks); 28–30: description of the cosmos, both the superlunary and sublunary world. The other 5 chapters deal with the sun, moon, and terrestrial latitudes. Some of the chapters that purport to explain the physical structure of the cosmos show a clear dependence on Aristotle, while others draw upon Ptolemy, in particular on his Planetary Hypothesis, which may have reached the author through the Kitāb al-A`lāq al-nafīsa of the eastern geographer Abū `Alī Aḥmad ibn `Umar ibn Rustah. An analysis of his work offers only two chronological details: a quotation from Maslama al-Majrīṭī (d. 1007) and the statement in the title of the star table: “we found its longitude in the ecliptic in the year 300 of the Hijra” (912-3 CE). The clocks described are a sundial, the description of which coincides with the one found in the Kitāb al-asrār fī natā’ij al-afkār (Biblioteca Medicea-Laurenziana, MS. Misc. Or. 152, folio 47r), explicitly attributed to Ibn al-Ṣaffār, one of Maslama’s disciples. 2 texts describe a similar instrument (the balāṭa described in Ibn Isḥāq al-Tūnisī's Zīj and one in the commentary to the Mišná by Maimonides). A "fire clock” is described which is a similar clock found in a work by a certain Yūnus al-Miṣrī. The star table contains 16 stars. It is the first star table documented in al-Andalus and is influenced by al-Battānī and Maslama [see BEA, Comes]

He is credited with two zījes. The longer said by Ibn al-Qifṭī to have been based on the Sindhind; the shorter presumably based upon the Almagest. These works were cited by several astronomers from the `Abbāsid period, although they are no longer extant. [BEA, DeYoung]

Not clear if this treatise is by or dedicated to Maḥmūd Shāh Khaljī. The introduction says that the treatise originally comprised an introduction (muqaddima), two chapters (bāb), and a conclusion or appendix (khātima). The last chapter and appendix were already lost during the author’s lifetime. The introduction has thirty-six sections (faṣl). The first of these sections is the best-known because it was published, with facing Latin translation, by John Greaves in his Astronomica quaedam (London, 1652). This initial section contains basic geometrical definitions, an elementary introduction to Islamic hay’a (cosmography and cosmology), and some brief explications of concepts used in spherical astronomy. Sections 2 – 24 deal with topics from arithmetic and calculations useful for spherical astronomy. Sections 25 – 36 describe the astrolabe and its use. The work is usually cataloged as a commentary on the Zīj-i Ilkhānī of Naṣīr al-Dīn al-Ṭūsī.

Title: Zīj-i Ulugh Beg, Zīj-i Jadīd-i Sulṭānī or Zīj-i Gurgānī. In the introduction, Ulugh Beg acknowledges the collaboration of Qāḍīzāde, al-Kāshī and al-Qūshjī. It consists of 4 chapters dealing with chronology, trigonometry and spherical astronomy, planetary positions, and astrology respectively. Ulugh Beg’s Zīj was highly influential and continued to be used in the Islamic world until the 19th c. [BEA, van Dalen]
