A fact from Muhammad al-Qunawi appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 10 August 2020 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Muhammad al-Qunawi wrote a Turkish edition of
Al-Khalili's tables because, according to him, "some of our sons wanted, from this poor man, to learn about
sine tables"?
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
... 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? Source: "One can simply observe a star reaching the last point instantly and also read its rise from a different table prepared by the author; one can enter solar longitude through the rise on the main table and determine the nighttime (
Fazlıoğlu 2007, p. 946)"
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.
