Review text

This paper adds new information on al-Zarqāl's maximum solar equation and related parameters, which was obtained by the identification of the Epitome's source for al-Zarqāl's solar theory. This identification was established through the Tractatus super totam astrologiam of Bernardus de Virduno (later 13th century). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0881.00050].
