Notes

It may be possible that this is the correction of Autolycus's "On the Moving Sphere" (كتاب الكرة المتحرّكة); Ibn al-Nadīm mentions that Kindī corrected the work (Fihrist [ed. Ayman Fu'ad Sayyid], vol. 2, p. 216). Cf. Sezgin, GAS V, p. 82 asking whether Ayasofya 2671 may contain a corrected version that is different than that of Thābit b. Qurra's in Ahmet III 3464. Also see the F. Rosenthal reference to a Kindī work entitled "Kitāb fī ḥarakat al-kura".
