The Syrian mathematician Qaysar ibn Abu al-Qasim 1178/79-1251 made the bronze globe with inlaid silver and copper 22 cm diameter in 622 AH 1225/26 CE for the fourth Ayyubid Sultan of Egypt al-Malik al-Kamil Muhammad ca. 1177-1238. The three folding plates show measured drawings apparently original size though without a scale of the components of the celestial globe with 1025 stars and 48 constellations designed so that they could be cut out and assembled around a globe body: the first shows the meridian and horizon rings with 2 gnomon scales for the base and a small view of the assembled globe the second shows the northern hemisphere and the third the southern hemisphere. Mediaeval Arabic astronomers used celestial globes to help solve various problems in astronomy far in advance of their European contemporaries. The seminary printing office in Padova established 1684 had its own typefoundry and had non-Latin types including Arabic cut for its first books published in 1685.Old library shelfmark label on the inside of the front board.
