Critical edition and translation of Abū Maʿshar's own abridgement of his larger Introduction, printed alongside Adelard of Bath's twelfth-century Latin translation of it, so the Arabic original and its Latin vehicle sit in one volume. Record confirmed against the contemporary review in the Bibliothèque de l'École des chartes and the publisher's own catalogue entry.
