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 sepia and red ink manuscript is an exquisite example of Arabic craftsmanship. Measuring at 24.4x16.6 cm, this private collection item holds immense historical significance. The manuscript consists of five treatises on astronomy and mathematics, with each folio adorned with flowing sepia naskh script containing 29 lines. Key words and phrases are highlighted in vibrant red ink, accompanied by numerous diagrams and tables throughout the text. The meticulous attention to detail is evident not only through the beautiful calligraphy but also through copious marginal notes written in sepia and red ink. The manuscript's later numbering can be observed in the upper outer corners of each page. Although some areas show signs of staining and repair due to its age, it remains a testament to the enduring legacy of Islamic scholarship during that era. Encased within a brown morocco binding from the 14th or 15th century featuring stamped geometric stellar motifs and borders, this masterpiece exudes elegance. The doublures further enhance its allure with scrolling arabesque designs adorning their surfaces. This photograph captures every intricate detail while preserving its historical essence for all to appreciate.
