The “Thābit-Version” of Ptolemy's Almagest in MS Dresden Db.87 (2012)

unapi

Various historical sources contain references to an unknown Arabic version of Ptolemy's Almagest which allegedly was produced by Th bit ibn Qurra. The authenticity of these records and the existence of such a text have long been doubted. In the present paper new evidence of a Th bit-version of the Almagest is presented. It suggests in particular a close relatedness between that text and the incomplete Latin translation of the Almagest in MS Dresden Db.87.
