Notes
^ Back to text1. For the significance of this expression see Blochet’s description of the Qawāʿid al-hidāyah (Blochet iv 2401), where it is explained that there are four kinds of raml, namely (1) Mas̲h̲riq al-raml, practised in India, Transoxiana and K̲h̲urāsān in accordance with the precepts of the S̲h̲ajarah (2) S̲h̲amāl al-raml, practised in Fārs, ʿIrāq and Gīlān in accordance with the Mafātīḥ al-aḥkām, (3) Mag̲h̲rib al-raml, practised in the Mag̲h̲rib, Egypt and Syria and (4) Janūb al-raml, unknown.
^ Back to text2. Bahāʾ al-Dīn Waltah seems likely to be a corruption of Bahāʾ al-Dīn wa-’l-Daulah.
^ Back to text3. Of Gujrāt in the Panjāb presumably.
^ Back to text4. N. b. M. b. Ḥai. s̲h̲., author of (1) Lubb i lubāb (no. 17 above), (2) Risālah i raml (no. 39 below), (3) Risālah i Nāṣirī (no. 38 below). He is probably the author of the astrological work Hidāyat al-nujūm, and Irs̲h̲ād on the astrolabe (see pl. ii § 95). It may be presumed that he is the same person as K̲h̲wājah N. al-D. Aḥmad [sic?] b. Ḥaidar S̲h̲īrazī, author of the Tuḥfat al-raml (no. 52 below).
^ Back to text5. So Edwards and Arberry, but it seems possible that M. ʿAṭā-yi Lāhaurī or M. ʿAṭā Lāhaurī, as it would be written in the present work, is the correct reading. In Bodleian 2747 the name is given as M. ʿAṭāʾ Allāh Lāhaurī.
^ Back to text6. Probably identical with Muʿīn al-Dīn ʿAbd Allāh S̲h̲īrāzī, author of Ḥall al-maqāṣid al-jāmiʿ li-g̲h̲arāʾib al-asrār wa-’l-fawāʾid (see pl. ii § 841 (3)).
