LJS 37 - [Ikhtiṣār lil-maqālāt min kitāb Uqlīdis]Euclid! This manuscript is an incomplete abridgment in Arabic of Euclid’s Elements, written on paper. The first 6 leaves are actually replacements, written on different paper in a later hand. The replacement title page gives the incorrect title Taḥrīr Uqlīdis kāmil (Complete edition of Euclid, usually used to refer to the version edited by Naṣīr al-Dīn al-Ṭūsī, which this is not). It was written in Fatimid Egypt, Iraq, or Syria, between A.H. Jumādá al-Ūlá and Ramaḍān 502 (Dec. 1108-April 1109).It’s time to enjoy it!
