The present copy is number 1011. Firebaugh’s translation contains the spurious supplements by of François Nodot and José Marchena, who aimed at completing the fragmentary original, but Firebaugh clearly indicates which part of the text was original and which was spurious.</span><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/catalog/bib_1979114" rel="ugc nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a></span></span></p>
