The Astronomical Observatories of Jai Singh c9.s1.35

¹ Abdul ‘Ali b. M. al-Ḥusain, Niẓām al-Dīn al-Barjendi wrote a commentary on Naṣīr al-Dīn's recension of the Almagest, a commentary on Naṣīr al-Dīn's treatise on the astrolabe, a comment on Ulugh Beg's tables, a treatise on astronomy, etc. I am indebted to Khān Bahādur Pīr Muẓaffar Aḥmed of Delhi for the loan of this manuscript, which was written out by one Quṭb b. ‘Abdul Jalīl in A. H. 1066 (=A.D. 1655) at Ḥyderābād. Its date and its presence at Delhi suggests the possibility of its having once belonged to Jai Singh's library.
