Al-Kharaqi's Muntahá al-idrak fi taqasim al-aflak (The Utmost Attainment on the Divisions of the Orbs): The First Comprehensive Hay a Work on Ptolemaic Cosmology. Next he introduces the contents of al-Kharaqi's I Muntahá i , accompanied by a commentary on select chapters (Chapter 3) and positioning this treatise as the earliest comprehensive I hay a i work. The introduction begins with a biographical account of al-Kharaqi's life and works, clarifying the existence of two contemporaneous scholars sharing the same I nisba i , namely al-Kharaqi, which modern scholars have often confused and subsequently recognized as a single individual (Chapter 1).
