Abstract

This is the first investigation of timekeeping by the sun and stars and the regulation of the astronomically-defined times of Muslim prayer. The study is based on over 500 medieval astronomical manuscripts first identified by the author. A second volume, also published by Brill, deals with astronomical instruments for timekeeping and other computing devices
