It’s time to look at the stars! This manuscript is a collection of astronomical texts in Hebrew from source texts ranging from the 11th to the 16th centuries. Subjects include geography, the Ptolemaic model of the universe, solar and lunar eclipses, and the astrolabe. There are frequent marginal notes and glosses. It was possibly written in Gratz, ca. 1542-1599.
