New Delhi, Indian Institute of Islamic Studies, 8205 (?) (formerly)

[Low-quality black-and-white microfilm scans of the textblock.]

Single work: Arabic. Date:

finished on 10 (?) Shaʿbān 927/16 July 1521 (183v).

Or.:

copied in Herat by Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b. Ḥusayn (183v), said to be a brother of Mawlānā ʿAbd al-ʿAlī Birjandī, i.e., the author of C.1.44, in a note written vertically below the colophon by a different hand (183v).

Prov.:

stamp ‘Indian Institute of Islamic Studies New Delhi’ with shelfmark (?) ‘8205’ in pencil (45r); the institute was located on the campus of Jamia Hamdard University and was dissolved around 1989, after which its manuscript collection was incorporated into the university library. The manuscript is not identical with two other copies of the Taḥrīr preserved at the institute in 1989 (nos. 815 and 2066, cf. David Pinault, ‘An Investigation of Arabic and Persian Manuscripts in Selected Indian Libraries’, Hamdard Islamicus 13/2 (1990), pp. 71–82, here pp. 74–75, with no. 815 erroneously identified as a copy of the Almagest); none of the three copies could be located at Jamia Hamdard in March 2026. Scans of this manuscript were apparently made available by the Jamia Hamdard (MC 48/1) and the Noor Microfilm Center (MF 161).

Cod.: paper, 184 ff. (foliated with Persian variants of Hindu-Arabic numerals in pen, with an unnumbered slip of paper bound after f. 96; some catchwords). A single naskh hand; almost fully dotted ductus with few vowel marks. Book and section titles presumably in red; abjad numerals overlined. Diagrams mostly with presumably red lines and black geometrical points, sometimes hardly visible on the scans. Tables with red lines; a completed copy of the rosette on f. 96^bisr. A paper slip with an omitted part of the main text glued onto f. 68v. Codex in acceptable condition; damage by insects throughout; some margins restored, particularly on the first and last folios; binding becoming loose. Dimensions: not given; 21 lines per page. Type III binding.

Cont.: astronomy. — Index: Ptolemaica (1v–184r). Blank: 96^bisv.
