Dr. Paul " 34"Kunitzsch described it as \"the most outstanding among the works of the " 35"prominent astronomer Abu 'l-Ḥusayn 'Abd al-Raḥmān ibn 'Umar al-Şūfi (born in" 36" Rayy, 903; died 986), referred to as al-Sufi. In it, al-Şūfī treats the 48 " 37"classical constellations, which were established and transmitted in " 38"Ptolemy's Almagest. The description of each constellation comprises the " 39"following four sections: first, a general discussion of the constellation " 40"and its individual stars; this section also includes alŞūfi's criticism of " 41"the Ptolemaic tradition and notices of his own observations. Second, a " 42"record of the indigenous Arabic star names falling under that constellation," 43" and the exact identification of the respective stars with the corresponding" 44" Ptolemaic stars. Third, two drawings of the constellation, one as it is " 45"seen on a celestial globe, and the other one as it is seen in the sky. " 46"Fourth, a table of the stars making up that constellation, giving a verbal " 47"description of each star's location and its longitude, latitude, and " 48"magnitude. This table closely follows the arrangement of Ptolemy's star " 49"catalogue in the Almagest.\" <sup><a href=\"#footnote-1\">[1]</a></sup>. In " 50"addition to the four sections of each constellation mentioned by dr.

He describes each individual star in " 61"more than way: By the star position related to the constellation figure, by " 62"its magnitude, by the asterism it forms with other stars like triangle or " 63"arc shapes, sometimes by the star position related to the Milky way, and by " 64"the angular distance from a close by star. I have counted more than 700 " 65"angular distances measured by al-Sufi in his book. The units he uses for " 66"angular distances are cubits, spear length, man-height, span, and finger.
