Folio 200a has a diagram of an instrument with circles for the Earth, Moon, and Sun that could be related to this. According to F. Charette and P. Scmidl the unidentified work is that of ʿUmayr ibn Samʿān's "Lawḥ fī maʿrifat al-kusūf." It is followed with a diagram (f. 198b) entitled "Āla yuʿlam bihā al-kusūf." |
