About this item

Content

Treatise on the mathematical sciences (geometry, astronomy, arithmetic and music) excerpted from the works of Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAbd Allāh (أبو علي الحسين بن عبد الله), known as Ibn Sīnā (ابن سينا, latinised as Avicenna, d. 1037), edited and translated into Persian by his student Abū ʿUbayd ʿAbd al-Wāḥid ibn Muḥammad al-Jūzjānī (أبو عبيد عبد الواحد بن محمد الجوزجاني).
