EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, "A Compendium of Treatises on Astronomy and Mathematics" by Nasir Al-Din Muhammad bin Al-Hasan Al-Tusi. Created during the Seljuk Dynasty in Anatolia, specifically Kaiseri (Qaysariya), in 1279, this manuscript is a true testament to the intellectual achievements of its time. Measuring 24.4x16.6 cm, this Arabic manuscript on paper consists of five treatises that delve into the realms of astronomy and mathematics. The flowing sepia naskh script gracefully adorns each folio, with important words and phrases highlighted in vibrant red ink. Throughout the pages, one can find numerous diagrams and tables that further enhance the understanding of these complex subjects. The manuscript bears witness to its age through copious marginal notes in sepia and red ink as well as small areas of staining and repair throughout its 153 folios plus two fly-leaves. Housed within a brown morocco binding from the 14th or 15th century, adorned with stamped geometric stellar motifs and borders, it exudes an air of elegance. Preserved within a private collection today, this photograph allows us to appreciate both the aesthetic beauty and scholarly significance held within these ancient pages.
