Meer over het boek

The Muiniya Epistle, authored by the renowned 13th-century scholar Nasir al-Din Tusi, is significant for being one of his earliest works and is uniquely presented in Persian. This text is structured into four parts, establishing a template that influenced future Islamic astronomers. Its translation into English offers insights into Tusi’s intellectual contributions and the development of astronomical thought in the Islamic Golden Age.
