Notes

This is a previously unrecorded copy of an unknown treatise on mathematics by Mubaššir ibn Aḥmad al-Rāzī (1135/1136-1193), which in turn is a commentary on pronouncements by the celebrated Ḥanbalī vizier known as Ibn Hubayra (d.1165) written during the latter’s lifetime. This manuscript was copied from one in the author’s hand in 1180 CE, possibly in Baghdad, although based on later remarks on the title folio it appears that the manuscript passed through Damascus.
