A treatise, in 7 chapters, on the construction of the astrolabe: 1) mathematical preliminaries
(including stereographical projection); 2) the projection of circles on the surface
of the astrolabe; 3) trigonometric techniques for the computations of the tables in
ch. 4; 4) 5 Tables; 5) the northern astrolabe; 6) the southern astrolabe; 7) the impossibility
of drawing other astrolabes.
f. 2b الحمد لله رب العالمين كثيرا وَصلى الله على محمّد النبي وَعلى اله وَسلم كثيرا قال احمد
بن محمد بن كثير الفرغانى انّ المُتقدّمينَ منَ العُلمَاء بحسَاب النُجوم انما اَدركُوا
عِلم حَركات الفلك وَمَا تعرضُ فيهِ بالمُوَاظَبَةِ على النّظرِ وَالقيَاسِ الخ

f. 73 a ففيما لَا يستَخرِجُ ذلِك مِنَ الجَدول المفرد لهذا مَا يَستدلُّ علَى ذَلِك بإِذَن الله
وبهِ القوهُ وَالعَوْنُ
