在中世纪的伊斯兰世界，许多从事天文学的学者撰写了关于星盘的书籍，特别是关于如何操作星盘的论文（称为“星盘操作论文”），如Kshyār ibn Labbān（10世纪下半叶）的《星盘之书 ce ）;但大多数都有类似的内容。有人可能会问，为什么这些学者试图写自己的论文，这类，即使他们有什么不同，从现有的作品的主题？为了回答这个问题，我比较了Kshyār的《星盘之书》（Kitāb al-As urlāb）和Atharr al-Dn al-Abharkhan的《星盘之书》（d. 1262年或1265年）《认识星盘》（Risāla fma rifat al-As urlāb），这本书是在喀什耶尔的书的强烈影响下写成的：两者之间的比较表明，他们预先假定使用自己的星盘。这一分析表明，许多阿拉伯论文的操作星盘有其新奇，至少保证了独特的一个特定的星盘的前提下，每个作者。
In the medieval Islamic world, many scholars engaged in astronomy composed books on astrolabe, especially treatises on how to operate it (called “Treatises on the Operation of the Astrolabe”) such asBook of the Astrolabe (Kitāb al‐Asṭurlāb)by Kūshyār ibn Labbān (fl. second half of the tenth century ce ); however, most of them had similar contents. One might ask why these scholars sought to write their own treatises of this kind, even though they differed little from existing works on the subject? To answer this question, I compare Kūshyār’sBook of the Astrolabe (Kitāb al‐Asṭurlāb)and Athīr al‐Dīn al‐Abharī’s (d. 1262 or 1265)Treatise on Knowing the Astrolabe (Risāla fī maʿrifat al-Asṭurlāb), which was written under the strong influence of Kūshyār’sBook: a comparison between them reveals that they presupposed the use of their own astrolabes. This analysis shows that many Arabic treatises on the operation of the astrolabe had their novelty at least guaranteed by the uniqueness of a specific astrolabe presupposed by each author.
