Incipit: احمد الله مبدء كل مبتء وغاية كل غاية ... وبعد فقد كنت برهة من الزمان عازما على ان احرّر لنفسي ولساير طلبة العلم من الاخوان كتاب المجسطي المنسوب الى بطلميوس ... وها انا اخوض فى المقصود واقول الكتاب مشتمل على ثلثة عشر مقالة
Explicit: قال واذا اتممنا جميع ما يفتقر الى ارشاده من وجود ما يحتاج الى وجوده وتصحيح ما يحتاج الى تصحيحه ... حامدا له على الاته مصليا على جميع اوليائه خصوصا على خاتم انبيائه وبرزة من اله واهليائه
