Arabic manuscript on paper, 46 ff., each page with 13 ll., written in black naskh script; catchwords in red ink; richly illustrated with drawings in red ink; housed in a deep brown leather binding. 16.5 by 23 cm Tahrir Usul al-Handasa wa-al-Hisab — First Article (al-Maqala al-Ula) Opening section of the geometrical treatise attributed to Nasir al-Din al-Tusi, presenting a refined recension of the first book of Euclid. This article sets out the foundations of plane geometry through definitions, postulates, and common notions, followed by a sequence of propositions beginning with basic constructions (notably the equilateral triangle) and progressing to the fundamental properties of rectilinear figures. Each proposition is arranged in the classical demonstrative form. Al-Tusi’s redaction clarifies and systematizes the Greek original, enhancing logical rigor and coherence within the Arabic mathematical tradition. A concise and authoritative exposition of geometric first principles, forming the basis of the treatise as a whole.
