The Muiniya Epistle, authored by the 13th-century scholar Nasir al-Din Tusi, is significant for its use of Persian, marking a departure from Arabic in scholarly works. This early text is structured into four parts, a format that influenced future Islamic astronomers. The translation into English makes this important work accessible, shedding light on Tusi's contributions to astronomy and intellectual thought during his era.
