Transcriber’s Notes

Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected. Variationsin hyphenation have been standardised but all other spelling andpunctuation remains unchanged.

The precise location of footnote 37 is speculative since it is notindicated in the original.

Al-Bertuni is only mentioned once in the book, with an anchor to afootnote which is not present. The anchor has not been included.

The first footnote to chapter VII has no anchor, nor any mention of theapparent topic within the chapter so it has not been indexed.
