Collection of 28 short works and extracts: Arabic and Persian. Date:

several of the works are dated to the months Jumādā l-ūlā and Rajab 1053/July-September 1643 (88r, 103v, 113r, 114v, 121r, 125v, 136v, 144r, 154v, 159r), making it plausible that these were copied by the same scribe; the Ptolemaic work is undated and by a different hand.

Or.:

unknown; unknown scribes.

Prov.:

tables for the rising of Suhayl and Sirius in several localities for the year 341 Malikī/1419-20, with a note (195v); a Persian poem (195v); a Persian extract (qism-i awwal) on solar distances and velocities, plus two trimmed notes, one ending with min-hu (195v). The birth dates and times of three children of an annotator in the period 1779–1785: Sayyid Ḥasan (22 Rajab 〈11〉93), Zeinab (20 Ṣafar 1196) and Sayyid Murtaḍā (?2 Rabīʿ al-awwal 1199) (195v). Undated ownership statement by the Iranian author and scholar Jalāl al-Dīn Humāʾī (1900–1980) (1r); rectangular stamp ‘Jalāl b. Ṭarab Humāʾī’ dated 1309 hs and 1349 ah/1930 (2r, 196v). Purchased from Mihrdukht Humāʾī in 1385/2006.

Cod.: paper, 197 ff. (foliation not visible on the scans but implied by the online descriptions of the works, with some inaccuracies; catchwords). Several naskh and several nastaʿlīq hands, suggesting that this is a manuscript composed from various distinct sources. The Ptolemaic work: a neat naskh hand in black, partially dotted ductus; book and chapter titles and abjad and Hindu-Arabic numerals in red, geometrical points in the text not highlighted, some black and red overlines; neatly drawn large diagrams with red lines and black geometrical points, occasionally the other way around; tables with red lines, some unfinished; a rosette (5r). Codex in very good condition; some stains, significant wear of the covers. Dimensions: 24.0×16.0 cm, written area: 15.5×10.5 mm; 23 lines per page in the Ptolemaic part. Brown leather covers over pasteboards with a blind-stamped mandorla with floral motifs and pendants; marbled paper doublures. Type III binding.

Cont.: astronomy, history, rhetoric, logic, religion, philosophy, mysticism, arithmetic, geography, meteorology, medicine. — Index: table of contents with years of copying (1r); Ptolemaica (2r–86v); anonymous, Taʾrīkh al-khulafāʾ (87r–88r); Rashīd al-Dīn Muḥammad b.
