`_`	(the underscore) is the placeholder for exactly one character.

Collection of nine works: Arabic. Date:

some of the works dated 3 Shaʿbān and Dhū l-qaʿda 698/6 May and July-August 1299 (29r, 60r, 67v).

Or.:

Sabzevar (29r); unknown scribe.

Prov.:

—.

Cod.: paper, 80 ff. (foliated with Hindu-Arabic numerals in pen; a sloppy pagination from 46 to 61 at the bottom of ff. 25r–32v; a pagination from 1 to 5 in red for the last fragment [76r–78r]; quire numbers in Hindu-Arabic numerals starting with ‘12’ [41r, 49r, 57r, 65r, 73r]; no catchwords). At least two main naskh hands in black. First hand (1r–24v, 68r–75v): regular and dense, only occasionally dotted, no tashkīl, hamzas or shaddas. Second hand (25r–67v, including both Ptolemaic works): rather hastily written and less angular, hardly any diacritics. A third naskh hand in brown with black overwritings, in a mostly dotted ductus, with some shaddas but no hamzas, only for the last fragment (76r–80v); these folios are smaller than the others and are more damaged at the edges; they were probably added to the collection at a later point. Numerous figures of instruments and geometrical diagrams in red with black labels; from f. 25r onwards, chapter headings and textual dividers in red; more highlights in red in the last fragment (76r–80v). Apparently without cover, binding becoming loose; otherwise, paper and main text in good condition with only minor water damage in the upper margins. Dimensions: not provided; 20–22 lines per page.

Cont.: mathematics, geometry, astronomy. — Index: al-ʿUrḍī, Kayfiyyat al-arṣād (1r–24v, end missing); unidentified acephalous treatise on geometry (25r–29r); al-Kharaqī, unidentified work on the parallactic ruler (dhāt al-shuʿbatayn) and the distances of Sun and Moon (29v–40v, end missing; this is not part of al-Kharāqī’s Tabṣira or Muntahā); Muḥyī l-Dīn al-Maghribī, Iṣlāḥ Kitāb al-Ukar li-Thāʾudūsiyūs (41r–60r, acephalous); Ptolemaica (60r–67v); Ptolemaica (68r–v); al-ʿUrḍī, Risāla fī stikhrāj mā bayna markazay al-shams wa-mawḍiʿ awji-hā (69r–70v); al-ʿUrḍī, Masʾila fī l-Rujuʿ wa-l-istiqāma (71r–75v); fragment of an unidentified geometrical treatise (76r–80v).
