Scope and Content

This volume contains a treatise on geometry by Abdürrahim İbn-i Abi Bekir Maraşi called Muhasip Çelebi (died 1149 AH/1736-37 CE). The title given in this record appears on the binding and is only tentative; the work might have only been called Hendese. The text contains an unfinished table of contents (ff 2v-3v) and many diagrams. This manuscript was likely copied in the late 17th century CE.
