- Description
- Facing-page (French-English) translation of the earliest French treatise on the astrolabe (1362), a work that shares the same source as Astr. The introduction assesses the relations among Pélerin's "Practique," Astr, and their source text, John of Seville's twelfth-century "Compositio et operatio astrolabii," a version of the lost text of the eighth-century Arabic writer Massahalla.
