- ... that Muhammad al-Qunawi wrote a Turkish edition of Al-Khalili's tables (excerpt pictured) because, according to him, "some of our sons wanted, from this poor man, to learn about sine tables"?
Source: "In the preface to his Tarjamah‐i jadāwil‐i āfāqī, Qunawī says “some of our sons wanted, from this poor man, to learn about sine tables; and so we translated this work into Turkish ...” (Fazlıoğlu 2007, p. 946)- ALT1:... that with tables prepared by Muhammad al-Qunawi, one can determine the time at night by observing the stars?

- New enough and long enough. QPQ present. References are inline placed (Harvard style) and show no issues. I have added one extra invoke of Fazlıoğlu 2007, p. 946, to meet the requirement for ALT1 more obviously. No textual issues. Proposed image is public domain. Good to go.
