Four works (12, 13, 16, 17) are not translations, one (9) is qualified as revised by al-Kindī, one (16) is copied in a different style, and one (17) is on music. A table of contents is included (flyleaf 1 verso, at front of book), and the colophon of work 15 (f. 160v) says that Kitāb al-mutawassiṭāt is complete before listing the next two works that will follow.</dc:description><dc:date>1265</dc:date><dc:publisher>[1265-1371?]</dc:publisher><dc:subject>Astrolabes—Early works to 1800</dc:subject><dc:subject>Astronomy, Arab—Early works to 1800</dc:subject><dc:subject>Astronomy, Greek—Early works to 1800</dc:subject><dc:subject>Geometry—Early works to 1800</dc:subject><dc:subject>Manuscripts, Arabic</dc:subject><dc:subject>Music—Arab countries—500-1400—Early works to 1800</dc:subject><dc:subject>Optics—Early works to 1800</dc:subject><dc:type>Manuscript</dc:type><dc:type>Book</dc:type></oai_dc:dc>
