LJS 392 -  [Taḥrīr al-majisti]

Let’s study! This is the 13th-century recension of Ptolemy's Almagest by Naṣīr al-Dīn al-Ṭūsī. It also features an early 14th-century commentary of the Iranian scholar and astronomer Niẓām al-Dīn al-Nīsābūrī. It was written in Iran in A.H. 813 (1411 CE). There are several diagrams to help us study math!
