【Summary】
Al-Tadhkira fī ʿIlm al-Hayʾa is one of the most important astronomical works of the medieval Islamic world, composed by Naṣīr al-Dīn Ṭūsī during the final phase of his scientific career in 659 A.H. The treatise soon attracted extensive attention, leading to numerous commentaries and glosses by later scholars—clear testimony to its lasting influence on the development of Islamic astronomy.
Beyond its decisive impact on the efforts of later astronomers to revise and refine the Ptolemaic system, the Tadhkira is also a comprehensive cosmographical work. It presents a structured image of the universe grounded in the mathematical models of the Almagest, articulating Ṭūsī’s sophisticated approach to celestial theory and planetary motion that would resonate across subsequent generations.
