About this record
Comprehensive introduction to the principles of astrology by Abū al-Rayḥān Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad al-Bīrūnī (‫ﺃﺑﻮ‬
‫ اﻟﺮﻳﺤﺎﻥ ﻣﺤﻤﺪ ﺑﻦ ﺃﺣﻤﺪ اﻟﺒﻴﺮﻭﻧﻲ‬, ca 973-1048). The text is written in question and answer format ‫قي ﻋﻠﻰ ﻃﺮﻳﻖ‬
‫ اﻟﻤﺴﺌﻠﺔ ﻭاﻟﺠﻮاﺏ‬, f. 2v, line 8), and it deals with the sciences needed by the astrologer: geometry, arithmetic
and number theory, and judicial astrology (see f. 2v, lines 8-9). The author states that he composed the work
for Rayḥānah bint al-Ḥasan (‫ ﺭﻳﺤﺎﻧﺔ ﺑﻨﺖ اﻟﺤﺴﻦ‬, f. 2v, lines 7-8).
The text contains numerous diagrams and tables.
The earliest ownership inscription is dated Rajab 839/January-February 1436 (f. 1r, see Custodial History), so
it is likely that the copy was completed at or shortly before this date
Begins (f. 2v, lines 3-7):
