Description

Mathematical treatise on the construction of magic squares and triangles (العدد الوفق). The text is defective at the beginning and end so the author's name is unknown, but in what remains of the preface the author records the title of the work and says that his intention is to compile all that has been written on the subject up to date of the text's composition: 517/1123-4 (see f. 28r, lines 4-5). Seven authorities on magic squares are cited:
al-Mufaḍḍal ibn Thābit al-Ḥarrānī (المفضل بن ثابت الحراني, d. before 978-79, see Ridwān 'Abū al-Khaṭṭāb al-Mufaḍḍal ibn Thābit al-Ṣābi’' [1990]): ff. 60v, 80v, 94r, 95v and 102r;
Abū al-Wafā’ al-Būzjānī (أبو الوفاء البوزجاني, d. 997 or 998): ff. 64r, 87r, 91v, 94r, 95v;
Ibn Haytham (ابن هيثم, d. ca 1040): f. 35v;
Majd al-Dīn al-Amīr b. Abī Naṣr Manṣūr ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Alī (مجد الدين الأمير بن أبي نصر منصور بن محمد بن علي): f. 51r;
Abū Ḥātim al-Muẓaffar b. Ismā‘īl al-Isfizārī (أبو حاتم المظفر بن إسمعيل الإسفزاري, fl. late 5th/11th–early 6th/12th cent.): f. 41r;
Abū al-Fatḥ ‘Abd al-Raḥmān al-Khāzinī (أبو الفتح عبد الرحمن الخازني, d. after 525): ff. 53v, 77v, 92r, 92v, 100v, 109v, f. 60v;
Abū al-Ḥafṣ ‘Umar b. Ibrāhīm al-Khayyāmī (أبو حفص عمر بن إبراهيم الخيامي, d. ca 525): f.107v.
After a preface and table of contents (ff. 28r-29r), the treatise is divided into eight books (مقالات) each one further subdivided into parts (أقسام), chapters (أبواب) and sections (فصول), and sometimes even further into methods (وجوه). It is illustrated with 430 squares, triangles, tables and other diagrams.

Maqālah One: Introductions (المقالة الأولى في المقدمة, ff. 29v-35v);
Maqālah Two: The Simple Square (المقالة الثانية في الوفق الساذج, ff. 35v-58v);
Maqālah Three: Bordered Squares (المقالة الثالثة في الوفق المحلّق, ff. 58v-80v);
Maqālah Four: The Wonderful Bordered Odd Square (المقالة الرابعة في الوفق الفرد والغريب المحلّق, ff. 80v-93v);
Maqālah Five: The Banded (?) Square (المقالة الخامسة في الوفق الموشّح, ff. 93v-99r);
Maqālah Six: The Mixed Square (المقالة السادسة في الوفق الممتزج, ff. 99r-109v);
Maqālah Seven: The Three-Dimensional Square (المقالة السابعة في الوفق المجسم, ff. 109v-116v);
Maqālah Eight, which completes the Dīwān of Magic Squares with the Figure of the Triangle (المقالة البثامنة وهي المكمّلة لديوان العدد الوفق بالشكل المثلث, ff. 116v-119v, defective at end).
The third chapter (باب) of Maqālah Eight (المقالة البثامنة) is incomplete, and the final two chapters indicated in the table of contents (f. 29r) are missing.

The date of the copy is not known, but it appears to have been produced in the 15th or 16th century, and is at least earlier than 1037/1627-8, the date of the earliest seal in the manuscript (f. 28r).

Begins (f. 28r, lines 1-4, defective at beginning):

الساذج ثم بعده المحلق ثم الوفق الغريب ثم الموشح والممتزج وبعد جميعها المركب بعضها مع بعض

ونختمه بالوفق المجسم العجيب ووفق الشكل المثلث ونشير إلى النوادر واختلاف والوقوع في

مواضعها على أوجز ما يمكن من غير إخلال بأصل من أصول من ها بل نسهّل فيه الغامض ونبيّن الخفي ...

Ends (f. 119v, lines 21-24, defective at end):

الفصل الثاني

في الموشح المهمل من الثلاثيات

وهو الذي يبتدئ أقسام ضلعة منالواحد وتزايد ثلثة ثلثة مثل واحد أربعة سبعة عشرة

إلى حيث أريد من أقسام أضلاع المثلثيات
