Abstract:
Al-Safīr fī al-Hayʾa is a short treatises in Hayʾa written in 1500 A.D. /906 AH, by Ghīyāth al-Dīn Manṣūr Dashtakī, a great scholar of Safavid period. It is important to study this treatise because in the first place, it is one of the latest Hayʾa books written after many other books in this subject. In the second place, it is written in the period usually considered as the period of decline of Islamic science. And finally, unlike other short Hayʾa books, it includes a discussion of the difficulties of Ptolemaic planetary models, with some hints to the authors or the other scholars solutions. This paper studies Dashtakis scientific character and introduces Al-Safīr fī al-Hayʾa with a descriptive - analytical approach. A study of its contents shows that this treatise is a standard, brief, and instructional textbook based on Ptolemaic planetary models. The distinctive feature of this book is its presentation of the difficulties of Ptolemaic planetary models and the history of their solutions, apparently to persuade the scholars to study Dashtakis other advanced works on Hayʾa and getting to know his solutions.
