description: Nasir al-Din al-Tusi completed the final version of his astronomical tract al-Tadhkira fi cilm al-jau'a at Baghdad in 1274 AD. cAbd al- cAli b. Muhammad b. Husain al-Birjandi completed his commentary on it, Sharh al-Tadhkira , about 1507. In the 1720s, Nayanasukhopadhyaya translated the 11th chapter of that commentary into Sanskrit. Kusuba and Pingree present an edition of the Sanskrit, and in a separate section, an English translation facing the Arabic original. That chapter has attracted attention among European scholars since the late 19th century. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
