A golden age of Islamic science Nasir Al-Din Tusi and quote Al-Din Shirazi.This manuscript bears witness to the academic lives of the celebrated Ilkhanid astronomer, Nasir al-Din Tusi and his most renowned pupil, Qutb al-Din Shirazi, two of Islam’s principal scholars, who made major contributions to medieval mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy. Written in Seljuk Anatolia in 1279 AD, only five years after Tusi’s death and during Shirazi’s lifetime, it is a fascinating and rare document which gives a particularly striking illustration of how scientific knowledge was passed down from one generation of scholars to another. It comprises five treaties by Tusi, including a previously unrecorded risala as well las his seminal commentary on Ptolemy’s Almagest, Tahir al-majisti. These five treatises were copied by Shirazi from Tusi’s own autograph copies, and Shirazi’s manuscript was then copied in Anatolia by one of his students to produce the present work. Copious notes in the margins show how highly regarded this copy was among later scholars.A COMPENDIUM OF TREATISES ON ARITHMETICS AND ASTRONOMY, INCLUDING A PREVIOUSLY UNRECORDED RISALA AND TUSI’S COMMENTARY ON PTOLEMY’S ALMAGEST; THIS MANUSCRIPT COPIED FROM AUTOGRAPHS BY NASIR AL-DIN TUSI AND QUTB AL-DIN SHIRAZINASIR AL-DIN MUHAMMAD BIN MUHAMMAD BIN AL-HASAN AL-TUSI (D.

He was the most eminent scholar of the medieval world in trigonometry and wrote on a wide range of topics within the areas of mathematics and astronomy as well as on logic and theology. He composed about 150 works and is well-known as the founder of the observatory at Maragha in 1259 AD for the Ilkhanid ruler Hülegü, which triggered a major renaissance of Islamic Astronomy bringing together a number of outstanding scientists such as Qutb al-Din Shirazi. He is considered by the medieval historian Ibn Khaldun as batter than any other later Iranian scholars. Tusi died in Baghdad in 1274 AD.Qutb al-Din al-Shirazi studied medicine and law under his father Mas’ud al-Qadharuni and was later the best pupil of al-Tusi in astronomy and philosophy. He worked as a judge in Sivas, Malatya (Anatolia) and various cities in North-West Iran as well as carrying out various diplomatic missions for Ilkhanid rulers. Shirazi was probably in Anatolia when our manuscript was copied from his own copies. After one such mission for the Ilkhanid Ahmad Tekudar (1282-1284 AD) in Egypt, al-Shirazi moved to Tabriz and worked at the courts of Ghazan Khan and Uljaytu as well as founding a new astronomical observatory and scientific school in Tabriz He died in 1310-11 AD.The present work is a version of Al-Majmuá all-Mutawassita or Kitab al-Mutawassitat, a compendium of treatises on Mathematics and Astronomy described by Tusi as ‘intermediate’ lying between Euclid’s Elements and Ptolemy’s Almagest (‘Nasir al-Din Tusi’, Encyclopedia of Islam, pp.929-932). It contains treatises of which, in most cases, he had written commentaries or new editions himself, mostly composed during Tusi’s most active years in the 1250s and 1260s. A copy of the Kitab al-Mutawassitat, also including Tahriri kitab al-masakin li thawdhusyus was sold at Sotheby’s, London, 7 October 2009, lot 21. It was dated 1283 AD. Another sold at Christie’s London, 31 March 2009, lot 11 dated within 20 years of Tusi’s death.Our manuscript comprises the following works:• Jami’al-hisab also known as Jawami’al-hisab (bi’l-takth wa’l-turab), Collection of Arithmetic by Means of Board and Dust’ (see Rosenfeld, no. 606 – M17, p.214) (f.1 as numbered). A note on its last folio states that it was copied from a manuscript that Qutb al-Din Shirazi copied from an autograph by Tusi dated 20 Rajab AH 66 3/8 May 1265 AD.• An unrecorded single page risala which according to the index at the beginning of the volume is entitled risala fi ikhtilaf awda’marakiz aflak útarid fi masiratiha wa maqadir ab’ad markaz al badr’’an markaz al-‘alam (f.23) (Epistle regarding the trajectory of Mercury).• Kitab al-tadhkira fi’ilm al-hay’a, ‘A Memoir on the Science of Astronomy’ (see Rosenfeld, no. 606-A10, p.216) (f.24) Its colophon states that it was copied in a madrasa in Kaiseri (Qaysariya), in Anatolia at the beginning of Rabi’I AH 678/July 1279 AD from a manuscript copied by Qutb al-Din Shirazi, itself copied from an autograph by Tusi who had completed it on 8 Ramadan AH 661/16 July 1263 AD.• Tahrir kitab al-masakin li thawdhusyus, ‘Exposition of the ‘Book of Settlement’ of Theodosius’ (see Rosenfeld, no.606—A5, p.216) (f.49). Theodosius was a Greek scholar (ca. 160-100 BC) whose work was originally translated into Arabic by Qusta bin Luqa (820-12 AD). Nasir al-Din Tusi wrote his own commentary on this work. This treatise is complete but is not dated.• Kitab tahrir majisti, ‘Exposition of “Almagest’ (see Boris A. Rosenfeld and Ekmeleddin IhsanogluMathematicians, Astronomers and other Scholars of Islamic Civalixation and their Works.(7th-19th century) Istanbul 2003, 606, pp.211-219 and Brockelmann, 670-676; S.I, 924-933) (f.54) This is Ptolemy’s (d. 168 AD) major astronomical work. It was originally translated into Arabic by Al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf bin Mattar (d. 833 AD) on the order of Caliph al-Ma’mun (d. 833 AD), then by Ishaq bin Hunayn (d. 910 AD) and edited by Thabit bin Qurra (d. 901 AD) both of whom are mentioned in Tus’s preface. He also credits in his preface Husam al-Din bin al Hasan bin uhammad al-Siwasi, a 13th century Anatolian astronomer. Tusi’s commentary of the Almagest, completed in 1247 AD, is probably the most celebrated of all. Our colophon is dated Jumade I AH 678/October 1279 AD and this is probably one of the earliest copies of this work. A later added note states that it was copied by a student of Qutb al-Din Shirazi, itself copied from an autograph by Tusi.According to the colophon of the third treatise, the manuscript was copied in Kaiseri, Anatolia. A scientific treatise on astrolabes in the Al-Sabah Collection, Kuwait was also copied in Kaiseri in 1231-38 AD. It displays a very similar cursive hand and although written 40 years earlier, shows that the Central Anatolian town was an established Seljuk manuscript centre (Court and Cosmos, exhibition catalogue, 2016, cat.115, p.194).

2.2 Prior to the sale the Buyer should satisfy him/herself as to both the condition and the accuracy of the description of any item in the internet catalogue or on the lot list by personally examining said item thoroughly or by having said item inspected carefully and expertly in order to form his/her own opinion as to the degree of correspondence between the item and its description. The Buyer should, where reasonably necessary or desirable, seek the opinion of an independent expert, and should not rely on the illustrations in printed, online or digital transmitted form. In the event that a description makes reference to certain faults or imperfections, Buyers should note that it is an indication which is not intended to be exhaustive and that there may be other faults not expressly referred to from which no rights can be derived.

In the event that Oriental Art Auctions shall receive several commission bids on a Lot for identical amounts and at auction said commission bids are the highest bids for that Lot, in the above event, the Lot in question shall be knocked down by Oriental Art Auctions to the person whose commission bid (for the relevant amount) was received first.
3.3 Commission bids shall only be executed in the event that Oriental Art Auctions can reasonably be expected to do so and Oriental Art Auctions has discretion at all times to decide not to bring out a commission bid.

The above is not applicable to faults that are in relation to the condition of the item (such as, for instance, normal wear and restoration).
6.2 Oriental Art Auctions may refuse to take back a Lot in the event that its description was retracted in advance of or during a sale and the public has been informed of the correct description by means of oral announcements or the posting of notices in the saleroom.
