The author describes the book mentioned in the title and notes that it also contains an introduction to astrology, a matter foreign to the anwā tradition of orthodox Islam, concerned with the times of rising and setting of celestial bodies. He determines the time of the author to be that of the (illegitimate) ruler al-Manṣūr who openly persecuted astrology and privately let himself be guided by it. Hence, the book seems to represent the practice of astronomy at al-Manṣūr's court. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0855.00012].
