Notes

Astronomical text by an unidentified author. Special focus the topic “armillary sphere” (ẕāt-i kürsī-i ṣanāʿī).
The images – e.g., the perspective view – show very likely an impact of Müteferrika’s Cihānnümā or European
astronomical illustration. Probably second half of the 18th or early 19th century
