【Summary】
The text published in this volume is an instructional treatise devoted to arithmetic and mensuration. Although neither the author nor the precise date of composition has been definitively identified, internal and contextual evidence suggest that the work may constitute a section of Qānūn al-Saʿādah, attributed to Falak al-Dīn ʿAbdallāh ibn ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad Tabrīzī, known as Falak ʿAlāʾ Tabrīzī, active during the seventh and eighth centuries A.H.
The rules of arithmetic and mensuration presented in this treatise are primarily tailored to the needs of beginners, particularly those engaged in istīfāʾ (financial and administrative accounting). As such, the text offers practical guidance for calculations, measurements, and unit conversions used within bureaucratic and fiscal systems.
Of particular significance are the discussions found in the second “type” (nawʿ) of the treatise, which address standards of assay and related quantitative matters, providing valuable historical insight into medieval Iranian administrative mathematics.
