公元1383年开始编制的中国伊斯兰历法《回回二》的结构及其基本理论，是由清西·矢部地在其开创性著作中研究的。[2]然而，我们还不确定回鹘二世实际上是基于哪一个伊斯兰教的来源。3称为zfj的阿拉伯文献的主体是天文表以及如何使用这些表的说明。很少有zfjes给出理论解释这些表是如何准备的。证据很少给出。从这个意义上说，我们可以把回回二号称为典型的zfj。《回回二》所记载的，只是天文表，并对如何使用天文表作了非常简略的说明。在整个文本中找不到任何理论。为了发现构建表的理论或算法，我们可以首先从表中假设理论或算法，然后从假设中重建表。只有当重建的表与实际表在足够程度上一致时，我们才能说假设是正确的。只有在这样的初步研究之后，我们才能猜测《回回二》的来源，并探讨其与阿拉伯和波斯天文文献的关系。本作者一直在处理这个问题与本诺货车达伦。[4]我们在1996年8月26-31日在韩国首尔举行的第八届东亚科学史国际会议上宣读了一篇关于行星纬度表的联合论文。[5]正如货车达伦在那个场合已经指出的那样，回回二号与桑居吉芬夫Zfj密切相关，桑居吉芬夫Zfj 6是由一个名叫阿布·穆法马德·卡塔·伊本·阿尔夫马德·伊本·穆法马德·赫维嘉·吉兹尔·萨马尔坎德尔·桑居芬尔（Abu Mulfammad Cata ibn Alfmad ibn Mulfammad Khwiija Ghiizl al-Samarqandl al-Sanjufinl）的人在1366年为西藏蒙古总督准备的。
The structure of the Huihui Ii, a Chinese Islamic calendar originally compiled in AD 1383, I and the basic theory behind it were investigated by Kiyosi Yabuuti in his pioneering works. 2 However, we are not yet sure on which Islamic sources the Huihui Ii was actually based. 3The main body of the Arabic literature called zfj is astronomical tables together with the instructions how to use these tables. Very few zfjes give theoretical explanation of how these tables were prepared. Proofs are rarely given. In this sense we can call the Huihui Ii a typical zfj. What is recorded in the Huihui Ii are only astronomical tables and very brief explanations of how to use them. Nothing theoretical is found throughout the text. In order to discover the theory or the algorithm by which the tables were constructed, we can first hypothesize the theory or algorithm from the tables and, in tum, reconstruct the tables from the hypotheses. Only when the reconstructed tables agree with the actual tables to a sufficient degree we can say that the hypotheses were correct. It is only after such preliminary studies that we can guess the sources of the Huihui Ii and investigate its relation to Arabic and Persian astronomical texts. The present author has been dealing with this problem with Benno van Dalen. 4 We read a joint paper concerning the tables of the planetary latitude at the 8th International Conference on the History of Science in East Asia, August 26-31, 1996, Seoul, Korea. 5 As van Dalen already suggested on that occasion, the Huihui Ii was very closely related to the Sanjuj'fnf Zfj6 which was prepared by a certain Abu Mulfammad CAta ibn Alfmad ibn Mulfammad Khwiija Ghiizl al-Samarqandl al-Sanjufinl in 1366 for the Mongol Viceroy of Tibet.?
