Let me give you cover

Seriously, let me give you cover. "Don’t eat meat. Be as passionate as you can all the time. Work for social justice. Cuddle your beloved more than seems reasonable. Write. Give money to charity as often as you can and give a little more than you’re comfortable giving. Remember the homeless always and everywhere. Thank whatever God you worship for your inestimable good luck in being loved, and if you are not loved, love someone as best you can." --John Darnielle. ||Film, comics, books, The Mountain Goats, Danger, The Mountain Goats, art, robots, dead fish, religious art, secular art, art, art, and art, The Mountain Goats, long and rambling text posts. (May or may not concern The Mountain Goats) Anthropology, lefty ideas, art talk. I like to draw things.||

~ Astrolabe quadrant.

Place of origin: Syria, Damascus

Date: 730 H = A.D. 1329-1330

Medium: Engraved brass

▪︎From the source: “Made by Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Mizzi for Sulayman ibn Muhammad ibn Sulayman in Damascus in the year 730” is written in Kufi script, which was often used on astronomical instruments after Kufi had otherwise gone out of fashion. Al-Mizzi, who died in 1350, was an astronomer and muwaqqit (official timekeeper) at the Great Mosque in Damascus, and a total of five quadrants made by him have been preserved. Sulayman has not been identified.

A quadrant is in principle a quarter of an astrolabe, and was used to measure the height of certain stars at a specific latitude (here 33º30’ for Damascus). It could consequently be used for such things as determining the time – and the time of prayer.
