Klappentext
This book presents an English-language translation of Ris l -yi Mü n ya, or the Mü n ya Epistle. Ris l -yi Mü n ya is one of the earliest known works of Nä r al-D n s (1201-1274), an intellectual luminary of the 13th century CE. The work is notable for the choice of T üs s native Persian as the language of the text. In addition, T üs organized his volume into a four-part structure, which went on to become a popular template for the Islamic astronomers who succeeded him.This book helped ensure the patronage of T üs 's courtly patrons during his decades-long stay with the Ismä l s, as well as the continuation of his remarkable career under the first Ilkhanid rulers of Persia. This translation helps make this notable treatise accessible to English language readers. It is among a handful of English translations of major astronomical works dealing with hay a / cosmography in the Islamic world.
Subsequently T üs was to pen hisown commentary on the work (the all-i Mushkil t-i Mü n ya, or A solution to the difficulties of the Mü n ya) and he used this occasion to discuss his celebrated mathematical formulation the T üs Couple (a concept that he merely hinted at in the Ris l -yi Mü n ya).
