Summary of Contents: ایلخانی زيج Zij-i-khant (or Khání, as it is here entitled), containing the Astronomical
Tables constructed by Naşiru'd-Din Túsí by command of Hulákú Khán the
Mongol. See Rieu's Persian Catalogue, pp. 454-455, and Brockelmann's Gesch. d.
Arab. Litt., vol. 1, pp. 511-512. This beautiful little MS., obtained from the late Hájjí 'Abdu'l-Majid Belshah
in January, 1920, is not dated, but was probably transcribed in the fifteenth century
of our era. It comprises 148 ff. of 17'2 x 12'5 c. and 19 ll., and is written in a small,
neat naskh with rubrications and many Tables (ff. 27-93, 99-118", etc.). Of the
four Discourses (Maqála) into which it is divided, of which the subjects are given
by Rieu, the first begins on f. 3", the second on f. 20%, the third on f. 93%, and the
fourth on f. 137".
